Cattaraugus Creek

In regards to running more river you could probably put in at Hammond Hill Rd (access would probably be easier from the catt county side) or at Scoby Dam in Springville. I've done the section of river from Scoby to the usual Put In in the summer time and it was a fun stretch of river in a canoe with friends who don't know what they are doing but might be a bit long and dull in a whitewater boat. Though there were a few sections that looked like they might make for some waves and more interesting rapids at high water.

a runoff cascades from the top of the gorge and a kayaker takes a break

This a very beautiful creek. It was at 4.2, or 2600cfs
