Lockapalooza 2011!
July 16th-17th

The Lock 32 Whitewater Course will hold its Seventh Annual Lockapalooza on July 16th - 17th.  This year the features have been upgraded for an even more exciting event.


About the Course

The Lock 32 Whitewater Park has a set of squirt lines, two waves and two holes. Both holes enable lots of vertical moves and is really easy to cartwheel in. The top hole gives up humongous loops (front flips). Best of all, we have consistent water all summer long.

Spectator Info

Food from the grill, drink and snacks will be available for a small fee throughout the day. We'll also have flatwater kayak demos if you'd like to try the mellower side of kayaking. Sunday is your day to check out whitewater kayaking by signing up for a free one hour lesson or learning how to swim the whitewater park. 


About our Organization

For those of you who don't know, the Genesee Waterways Center runs the park and teaches kayaking, canoeing, rowing, sculling, outrigger canoeing and other forms of human powered watersports. Our main goal is to get people out on the water, especially people who might not otherwise have an opportunity. We have programs for inner city kids, disabled folks and everyone else. This festival goes a long way in helping us provide kayaking education to many a diverse range of folks. Lockapalooza is one of several fundraisers throughout the year, along with the Rochester Paddling Film Festival and National Paddling Film Festival Roadshow.
