CLASS II-III     3 miles
  The scenic beauty of Genesee/Monroe County and the water flowing gracefully down Oatka Creek are reasons enough to come here and paddle. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The starting point is not too far from Batavia, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then
    no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This stretch of Oatka Creek in New York is 3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III section. This is the only paddling stretch along Oatka Creek. This is a bit of a short
