ENTRANCE RAPID

Immediately downstream of the pool at Lee's Landing, the river plunges down a relatively narrow 200-foot long cascade with a complex and surging wave train. This stretch is perhaps the wildest rapid on the Genesee River below Lee's Landing. At high water (Stage 13 feet), these waves can be over 15 feet high. If this rapid doesn't excite you, then you should probably hike back up the hill and head home.

Edit/Update: Flooding in 2016 widened Entrance Rapid and mellowed out its former glory.  It's now more comparable to the gorge rapids - a long stretch of bolders and cobbles that has the same amount of drop, but none of the surf, and is more of a bump and grind below 9.5'.  Above Entrance, is a pool called 'warm up' that has some great surf at >10.5'.
