Genesee

My 3rd trip of my 1st adventures during 2022 on this section in an open solo esquif canoe. I'm a novice on whitewater in a canoe, likewise with my partner in a kayak. Anyone with better skill sets will not perfer this water at 9.0 ft however if seeking to develope your paddling skills it offers great technical challenges with little water risk, although I have been forced to take a swim on one occasion. I have rafted the WV Gauley river both Upper and Lower, The NY Black river, and the PA Youghiogheny. The views on this section of the Genesee river thru the state park are the best I've experienced. Be watchful of rain falls, the river is very responsive, I've experienced half foot gage level changes from put in to take out, study the water gage data history to better understand. Land slides and rock falls are possible, know and apply simple hazard mitigations and it'll prove to be very enjoyable.
