Welcome to the Genesee Waterways Center! We are a not-for-profit
organization located in Western New York State that promotes canoeing,
kayaking, rowing and sculling on the unique waterways of the Genesee Region.
At the Boathouse in Genesee Valley Park, you can enroll in one of our
rowing, sculling or outrigger canoeing courses. We have 600 feet of
accessible docks that comply with the ADA and are the entry point to the
scenic waterways and the trails surrounding GWC. Our rental facility gives
people access to canoes, flatwater kayaks, and soon adapted cycles.
From the boathouse you can also walk or bike along the many green trails
that connect right from our doorstep.
GWC’s Lock 32 Whitewater Park in Pittsford is the only man-made
whitewater course in New York State; at this facility we offer whitewater
and flatwater kayaking programs and equipment rentals, swift water rescue
training, and ACA instruction certification classes. It is a dynamic park
that draws people of all ages to the water!
The Cross Currents minority rowing team was featured this week in
the City Newspaper! The
article, written by Ryan Whirty, explains
the background of the team and captures the spirit of the people who
participate in this program. You can also visit the Cross Currents webpage for more information!
