Coast Guard closes part of Genesee River for water ski show June 20, 2026

The U.S. Coast Guard is issuing a temporary rule to close a section of the Genesee River in Rochester, New York, on Saturday, June 20, 2026. The closure supports two water ski shows organized by a local group.

Why it matters: This is a routine safety measure for a specific recreational event. It ensures that water skiers performing high-speed maneuvers are not hit by passing boats and that the public stays out of the immediate performance area. The impact is limited to local boaters who need to plan their routes around the Genesee River on that single afternoon.

Who it affects

• Recreational boaters navigating the Genesee River in Rochester, NY, on June 20, 2026
