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.

This place is THE BEST place to rent kayaks/canoes on the Erie Canal. It is perfectly located…read moreright by the chute entrance into the canal, making it so simple to rent and be in the water in seconds. The chute entrance into the canal is suited for anyone - but especially useful for elders or those with mobility issues. But the best part of Erie Canal Boat Company in Fairport is the owner Pete. He wants everyone to love boating and get the best experience possible. First he has and knows everything about the equipment and will get you perfectly situated for what you need to have an amazing time out on the water. What really shines is his personality though... Pete is a giver and is generous with his time, expertise and enthusiasm for paddling. He not only runs the shop, but helps get you in and out of the boat and safely in and out of the canal. He loves what he does and he loves helping you get out and enjoying the canal. His enthusiasm is contagious. He is simply THE BEST!!! We had the best time this morning and can't wait to spend many days this summer out on the water with Pete's help. Just be brave and go. It's the most wonderful feeling!

The water was clean in some parts and not in others. There were a few large branches we had to avoid. We got a quick good lesson on kayaking before we went into the water; it was very helpful. Our kayaking journey was absolutely beautiful. We passed a whole lot of ducks. They really kept us entertained. We passed a cute park, went through some gorgeous neighborhoods. Overall, there were a lot of trees on the shore by the canal so it felt very serene. I would recommend kayaking here! :)

There are options for canoes, single and double kayaks and paddle boards. Excellent for groups as well.

A bit of confusion as to where to sit; dining room; bar or outside. If we 8 sat outside, $5 each extra (cover "band" playing); dining was 30 minute wait; so bar it was! They would not allow us to put tables together, even tho dining room waitresses told us to do so. But once we got seated, all good! Kellie took care of us! Shout out from K2 to K! They had pizza this particular night. I really liked it as well (not typical NY pizza. It's bar pizza, cheddar cheese, softer crust, great taste). Drinks were good. I absolutely, recommend this totally casual, yummy wings, pizza & onion ring location. Appreciate our friends brought us here! Eat, drink & watch sports on TV in this darker wood establishment.

I know being busy and overworked is not her fault, but she kept loudly yelling things to the general dining room, which was pretty startling. We waited over an hour for our food, got the appetizer at the same time as our dinners, didn't get asked if we wanted drink refills, food was so-so and my friend didn't get what she ordered. The spinach and artichoke dip was very tasty, which was the saving grace of my experience. I know this is a bar, not a fine dining establishment, but I would have loved not to drink out of plastic cups. Also, if you're a person of size, you'll likely feel squished in their booths. I would not rush back here, especially when Hose 22 is so close and offers better food and service.
