Rushford Lake to Genesee River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-IV 1 miles
Free camping is available on nearby Rush Creek and Allen Lake State Forests. These are undeveloped areas, accessible by dirt/gravel roads with no facilities. Says Mason
The wonderful Allegany County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in New York are often tougher than in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The Rushford Lake to Genesee River section of Rushford Lake Outlet in Allegany County is 1
miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-IV section. This stretch is very short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Rushford Lake Outlet doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Rushford Lake to Genesee River stretch
is the only one. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good rivers for that around here.
