Genesee River Access

Genesee River Access provides multiple hand-launch sites along the Genesee River in Allegany County for paddling and fishing, with several DEC-managed locations offering parking and amenities.

Notable access points include Riverwalk Plaza in Wellsville, Amity River Access Site, Transit Bridge, Belfast, and Caneadea, each with varying parking availability and facilities.

The river features nearly 18 miles of public fishing rights easements and is popular for both trout fishing and paddling, though paddlers should be aware of hazards including dams, check dams, and fallen trees that change seasonally.
