Owasco River (Outlet)

the information provided by Andy Cook is not completely correct. There is a City of Auburn ordinance against boating in the Owasco River which can obviously only apply *within the City*. Only the put in and the first 100 feet of this run are in the City of Auburn. Historically, we have boated this section without incident and without being bothered by the police. In my opinion, the tickets that were issued to the boaters in question will not hold up in court as they were downstream and therefore not in the jurisdiction of the City when ticketed. There is also the issue of the validity of this ordinance in light of NYS Law which allow boating on any navigable waterway. Lastly, the takeout at the Turnpike Rd bridge is also the put in for the class II section that goes down to Hayden Rd (or all the way to the Seneca River if you prefer) is not subject to the City ordinance in anyway.
