New York whitewater - Sugar Creek, Livingston County

Livingston county, Headwaters to Canaseraga Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V     1.7 miles
  This stretch of Sugar Creek in Livingston County is 1.7 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class IV-V section of whitewater. The nature scenery of Livingston County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you won't find a large number of
    other spots. The Headwaters to Canaseraga Creek section is the only paddling section along Sugar Creek. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less
manageable. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. This is a pretty short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch.
