Description
Oatka Creek is a seasonal creek that drains into the Genesee River just south of Rochester. The creek is characterized by numerous ledges and pour-overs. Though rather tame, it features a nice surf wave, many excellent play holes and a beautiful but unrunnable 50-foot waterfall ( _Buttermilk Falls_). Oatka Creek is most fun when run at high levels (6 feet on the Garbutt gauge). Western New York Area Reaches Beaver Meadow Creek Canadaway Creek (1.) Canadaway Creek (2.)
