Paddle WNY

Description:

The Marden E. Cobb Waterway Trail is 55 miles in total length and consists of three sections:

  1. The Cassadaga Creek Paddle Trail is 28 miles long with the starting launch point in South Stockton and running to the south of Falconer.  Traveling south you will pass thru the Cassadaga Creek Preserve of wetlands and forest.  There are three more launch sites, Red Bird, Ross Mills and Levant.  There is a lean-to campsite at Kimball Stand.  After passing Interstate 86, north of Falconer, it connects to the Chadakoin River and eventually meets at the Conewango Confluence.

  2. The Conewango Creek Paddle Trail is 25 miles long, starting north of Kennedy, with four launch sites in Clarks Corners, Frewsburg and Kiantone.  It flows south to the Allegheny River at Warren County, PA.  There is a dock and lean-tos at an island south of Frewsburg and the trail ends about a half mile south of there.  The last launch site and parking area is west of Fentonville near the Pennsylvania border.

  3. The Chadakoin River Paddle Trail is 2 miles long and begins at Falconer Millrace Park eastward.

This is a very scenic waterway for observing wildlife and fishing while flat water canoeing or kayaking.  Public parking and waterway access can be found on the maps below.   No trespassing on shore as much of it is private property.
