GWC’s Welcome to Lock 32's Instructor Forum. Here you'll find
instructional articles, updates on what our team has been up to recently and
videos and pictures from trips we've taken.
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!
Here is a quick video of some of the waterfalls that I have run in the past year or so. Shot in New York and Washington, two of my favorite places to be. There will be plenty more waterfalls to come... See you on the water.

Lock 32's Danny Doran was featured on News 8 Now. Channel
8's Bob Metcalfe got in a boat for the occasion and the news crew
got some great footage of some Lock 32's resident kayakers.
Great to see the park featured with so many great boaters on the
news.
Kayaking director Andy Cook takes a look at the mental side of
kayaking steep creeks.
Summer '08 Creeking
It's been a busy summer at Lock 32! But, our instructors took the
opportunity of some heavy rain to get out on some local steeps. On
Tuesday, Andy, Paul, Danny, Mike and Corey loaded up Club Venture
and El Poderosa and headed to Ithaca. We scouted the West Branch
of the Cayuga Inlet, but that was too low. Paul and Andy did the First
Descent of this sweet steep last spring and Danny has been dying to get
on it ever since he returned from World Class. So, we boogied over to Six Mile Creek and made a quick lap on that. Then we ran downstream to
scout a big drop that Paul has had his eye on for a long time.
