Ages for which our activities are most appropriate:
The BSRA, founded in 2009, provides community access to rowing on the Buffalo River. We currently have high school, adult (Masters), and Learn-to-Row programs rowing out of our boathouse on 405 Ohio Street, Buffalo, New York. We are an Association. Each program operates independently, sharing the facility and working together to advance the sport of rowing. We welcome anyone interested in rowing, new to the sport or with prior rowing experience to come visit us at our rowing facility or contact us.
