CLASS II-III     3 miles
  The starting location is a short drive from Batavia, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in New York are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The nature scenery of Genesee/Monroe County and the water flowing gracefully down Oatka
    Creek attract people from near and far. This stretch of Oatka Creek is 3 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature
will have you coming back for more. This is a bit of a short stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The campgrounds here at Oatka Creek are pretty good. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Leroy to Fort Hill section is one of them. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. There aren’t any hotels right nearby  
but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
