Kayaking
The Lock 32 White Water Park is a beautiful spot where
paddlers of all ages come to learn to kayak! The park was envisioned
in 1996 by several local kayaking enthusiasts; their goal was to turn the
bed of the Erie Canal spillway at Lock 32 into a white water playground. After four years of hard work by a team of volunteers, the course opened for
its first full season in 2000 and we have been teaching individuals to kayak
ever since!
The park was designed to provide a controlled environment in which
students can learn and a challenging place for experienced paddlers to
practice. The course features a set of squirt lines, two
wave and two holes—and most importantly, a constant source of water every
day! Paddlers take advantage of this park to learn new moves and
tricks, practice their skills, or just to get out and have some fun with
friends on a summer evening.
Sat, September 5th through Mon, September 7th
(labor day weekend) There are lots of rivers running this weekend, including a release on the
Salmon River, a release on the Stone Valley section of the Raquette and
releases on the Taylorville, Moshier and Eagle sections of the Beaver River.
Check out American Whitewater
for more information or
FLOW, the local paddling club that leads trips for
its members.
