New York whitewater - Rushford Lake Outlet, Allegany County

Allegany county, 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 nature scenery of Allegany County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in New York is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has
    a pretty small number of paddling spots. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. 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. The Rushford Lake to Genesee River section of Rushford Lake Outlet in Allegany County is 1 miles long and is a class II-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This is a very short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The Rushford Lake to Genesee River stretch is the only paddling stretch along Rushford Lake Outlet.
