Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. The put-in location is a short drive from Corning, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The nature scenery of New York and the water flowing gracefully down Sugar Creek make the trip here worthwhile. 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. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Headwaters to Canaseraga
| Creek section is one of them. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This stretch of Sugar Creek in New York is 1.7 miles long and is a class IV-V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. This is a short paddling stretch so no need to bring snacks.
