Genesee Waterways Center

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!

Winter Indoor Rowing

The indoor tanks provide an opportunity for rowers to develop and improve their technique using the state-of-the-art indoor facility at the Pittsford Indoor Rowing Center.  Rowing is a low-impact activity that works both your upper and lower body while increasing flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular fitness.  Whether you are joining us for the first time or an experienced rower, we have a program for you!

Competitive Rowing

This winter, the competitive program led by John Bernfield continues with another 6-week session.  One of the program goals is to introduce a comprehensive program that will increase dynamic core strength and flexibility, improve aerobic fitness and eventually target the ability to generate the power needed to be fast enough to win rowing races.

Winter classes begin in January!
