Warehouse Foundation Remains

As you stand on the modern boardwalk and look northward along the ditch of the earlier Scottsville & Genesee River Canal you can see the stone foundations of some of the original warehouses which used to operate here.

This is geocache point #1. The canal passed directly under this point. After this canal was converted to feed water to the Genesee Valley Canal, a triangular land mass was formed which can still be seen and was bounded on the west by the feed water canal which was once the Scottsville & Genesee River Canal, on the east by the Genesee Valley Canal, and on the south by Oatka Creek which was previously named Allen's Creek. This triangular land mass was was called "The Island" and buildings were present on it.
