- * ["Lock 32"] - Lock 32 Whitewater Park is the only one of its kind in the country! Man-made and not dependent on dam releases, the Park was envisioned in 1996 by several kayaking enthusiasts. Their goal was to turn the ["Erie Canal"] spillway bed at that location into a whitewater playground. After four years of hard work by teams of volunteers, the course opened for its first full season in 2000. The designers constructed the Park to provide a controlled environment for students and also offer a challenging practice site for experienced kayakers.	+ * ["Lock 32 Whitewater Kayaking Park"] is the only one of its kind in the country!

- * ["Irondequoit Bay"] - There is a place at the south end of the bay where you can rent kayaks. The bay is large and fun to explore. There is wildlife to be seen and you can explore the underside of the 104 bridge. Pull up your kayak onto the docks and have a drink at one of the bayside establishments. You can choose whether to paddle North into Irondequoit Bay, or South into the wetlands of Irondequoit Creek. There you can paddle all the way up through the cattails to ["Ellison Park"]. I don't know how much of it is navigable by kayak, but the map shows the path of the creek coming from around Pittsford, where it appears to intersect the canal. - * ["Mendon Ponds"] - Has a convenient launch ramp.
