New York whitewater - Oak Orchard Creek, Orleans County
Orleans
county,
Medina to Lake Ontario section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The beautiful scenery of Orleans County and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. The starting location is a short drive from Batavia, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other places for that. Great exercise
and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your sleeping bag. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're
all set. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
