Batavia dam is an easy portage - there is a walking path with grass alongside. I usually just drag mine in the grass as I do not (yet) have a cradle. Less than 100 yards.

North Aurora dam is also an easy portage. Stay on the west bank. There is a gravel landing area very close to the dam. Bike path is right there. Go down the path under the bridge, maybe 200 yards, easy relaunch just south of the bridge.

Geneva Dam - I use the east side. There is a ramp which joins the bike path. Go down about 200 yards just before the bridge, easy relaunch.

Sorry, I have not done the STC dam yet.

I have used the stretch from just below the Geneva dam to just above the North Aurora dam. In NA, you can park in the municipal building lot (east bank), 20 yards to take out from parking. Only one dam @ Batavia, at current July flows it will take a couple of hours if you fish.

Another nice run without dams is from below the Montgomery dam to SawWeeKee park (on East bank about a mile past Orchard Rd).
