The South Dover NY to Gaylordsville Ct section of Tenmile is 4.2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-III section. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions
for lots of people. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The put-in location is a short drive from Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown, there's a road map further down the page with more
