Come join us, May 18th, 2019 at noon, for the 3rd Annual Wellsville River Regatta. We had fout times as many floaters our second year, and expect 2019 to be bigger, and more fun than ever!! We will launch again from the Genesee River Access West of York's Corners.  We will have a rolling (or should we say floating!) start beginning at 12:00 noon. We will have music, refreshments and prizes at the launch site to keep things interesting. All entrants should meet at Trout Run Camp Resort, and we will transport you and your Kayak, Raft or Tube to the launch site. There will be live music, drinks and a Pig Roast at the Campground afterwards. Pig Roast is included in your $25.00 entrance fee! Just in case mother nature doesn't cooperate, we'll have the pool cranked up to 95 degrees for a hot tub party!
