Canawaugus Park

What we know 0 of 3

Nobody has walked Canawaugus Park and written it up, and there is no list of what is there. What this page can tell you honestly is where it is and who looks after it. The rest is waiting on a visit.

Canawaugus Park sits on Oatka Creek, off Route 251. The Village of Scottsville owns and runs the park. It has picnic tables, benches, and parking, plus a view across the creek to old canal walls. Nearby, George Bridge lets you walk over the creek. It was once a train bridge for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Scottsville grew up on the site of a Seneca village called Ganowages. The town’s name comes from a Seneca word that means bad-smelling water.
