River DescriptionThis reach has enjoyed a resurgence! Courtesy of Cascade Falls Kayak Adventures, the Friends of the Outlet, the Village of Penn Yan and the Keuka Lake Outlet Association, the strainers are cleared out by volunteers, there is a regular release schedule (click on the Flow tab), and the stream has a whitewater slalom course and a 7.5-mile hiking and biking trail. WW Slalom races are held there in the spring and fall. Racing teams from NY, New England and Pennsylvania use this site to train.

Flow is determined by witnessing how many "Gates" are open at the Birkett Mills factory on Main Street.
1 Gate is not runnable other than some easy play at the put-in or at certain points at the Competition Center.
2 Gates is an intermediate run,
3 Gates will give you a class-III run from the put-in to the Competition Center and III/IV at the Center.
4 or 5 Gates gets very pushy and is not recommended for beginners. The Competition Center moves up to class IV. Be on the alert for Strainers and signs warning of unrunnable waterfalls. When you see the signs, GET OUT.
