Called today to see if we could do it again this year and the guy said they were closed for the season. I said "oh but I thought you were open this time last year?" And this guy said "I said THIS season, not LAST season" in the snottiest tone of voice. Incredibly rude and unprofessional. We'll spend our money elsewhere from now on (:

This is the worst canoe and kayak rental I have dealt with. I showed up at 2pm on a Friday…read moreafternoon and was denied service. This was because the owner " had plans " and " didn't feel like it". He refused us service and was very rude in the process. Proceeded to tell us that we were dumb for wanting to take the kayaks fishing because there was a 30% chance of rain. I asked Ron about his store hours because he was supposed to be open from 8am-6pm. He then said that he doesn't care what his hours are. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! As an avid kayaker I would never try and use this service again.

I had a wonderful experience renting a kayak from Genesee Waterways! Drive directly to the back of…read moreGenesee Valley Park, past the pool and other green spaces, and there's a large sign denoting the booth where you can rent. There was no one in the booth when I arrived - if this happens just take a walk around the building and there is likely someone just tending to the kayaks who will come back around. This is going to be a better deal than some of the other rental options, with 3 hours only setting you back $25. You can paddle to the left and see some of the UofR campus, but paddling to the right will allow you to head down the canal and see a lot more nature and views. The single employee pulls and pushes everyone out to the water, which blew my mind. I will absolutely be coming here again and look forward to many more trips down the river and canal.

This place is awesome! I lived in Rochester for the majority of my life and it's not until I moved…read moreaway did I realize how amazing it would be do kayak on the Erie Canal. So on my most recent visit to Rochester this past summer my cousin and I scoped out various places to rent kayaks. We settled on Genesee Waterways Center. Renting the kayaks was supper easy. We rented them for 2 hours for $25 per person. The rental process was seamless and the woman taking care of us was super friendly and knowledgeable. We kayaked along the Genesee river towards the canal. It was very peaceful and scenic. It was such a fun experience and we can't wait to go again! I'd definitely recommend this place to others. Also be sure to wear sunscreen and bring water on the very hot days.

The loops are not wide streets and it was a little tight to get out of our spot with a 28' and extended cab truck. If there were another camper parked across from us we wouldn't have been able to get out. Laundry on site and the store had tons of snacks. Past the old basketball court (across from section D) is a wandering nature trail/Maze. Staff that we interacted with were friendly and quick. Really quiet and peaceful place to stay for 2 weeks. Walmart is within 20 minutes if you need anything. Check out the Circle R farm store right down the street, too!

My first visit here. I went for a graduation party. It was a beautiful semi-secluded spot. We were…read moreParked in Area 1 and there was a path that went to the pavilion that was rented for the party. There was a bathroom as part of the pavilion, it is on the outside of the building, and it is open to the public. Which was nice having a bathroom so close. The bathrooms were spotless. I did get a bit of a surprise when I tried to hang my purse and found a pair of female panties hung there instead. Haha! I jumped, acting like they were going to jump out and grab me. So, yah, that happened. Probably someone changing into their bathing suit left it. You can see the water from the pavilion, or walk out to it. The landscaping was beautifully done, parts were immaculate, and some parts weee sanded for having fun, park like setting to play frisbee, horse shoes, Bocce ball. Etc.... You do not have to rent a pavilion, you can just go, and use the grounds. We paid 9.00 to get in. I think that's a per car fee. We don't live in the county, so Idk if that fee is for residence of the county or just non residents. Maybe something to check on before you go. They had grills there, a little fence around part of the pavilion, with picnic tables. Everything was set up very nicely. I have no idea how the pavilion rentals work, or how much they cost. But it was a beautiful spot. Trees, pathways, water, what more could you ask for. It seems quite large, and others were there as well enjoying the day like us. It is a joyful place, and everyone just enjoyed themselves, and respected each other. Very joyful, peaceful family place.

His main priority is getting you hooked onto fish and making the experience as enjoyable as possible. We caught a good variety of fish on our trip including big King Salmon (biggest of the day was 18-20 lbs), Brown Trout, and a big Lake Trout (around 20 lbs or so). We were also lucky enough to catch a beautiful small Atlantic Salmon that we safely released. Highlight of the trip was the big king salmon and lake trout that that gave a good 30-45 minute fight that really tested our physical limits. There were several instances where we were doubled/tripled up, and we had a blast. Highly recommend, we will certainly be returning in the future.
