Put In is a whitewater access point on Honeoye Creek in the Town of Lima, Livingston County, New York. Honeoye Creek is a medium-sized river with a total length of 39.71 miles and a drainage area of 264 square miles. The creek features a significant average gradient of 7.4 feet per mile, indicating moderately fast moving water suitable for whitewater paddling. With an average flow of 194.32 cubic feet per second and velocity of 1.70 feet per second, paddlers can expect moving water conditions typical of whitewater creeks in the region.
This put-in location provides access to a section of creek with notable elevation change and stream velocity. The creek's Stream Order 5 classification indicates it is a substantial waterway, larger than small tributary streams but not yet a major river. Paddlers using this access point should be prepared for moving water conditions and typical whitewater hazards. The distance to the river mouth at 536 miles suggests this is an upper-to-mid section of the Honeoye Creek watershed.
