York county, Brattle Street to Leighs Mill Pond section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V     1 miles

Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so keep in mind that many runs in this state are very easy. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This stretch is very short so no need to bring snacks. This is the only paddling stretch along Great Works
    River. This stretch of Great Works River is 1 miles long and it is classified as a class IV-V section by American Whitewater. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. Getting some good exercise
