3.5 miles West of Chester on Route 20 to Chester section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV 3.5 miles
The beautiful scenery of Berkshire/ Hampden County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Massachusetts tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. This is a somewhat short section so no need to bring snacks. The 3.5 miles West of Chester on Route 20 to Chester stretch of Walker Brook is 3.5 miles long and it is classified as a class IV section by American Whitewater. There aren’t any
hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good spots for that around
here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. If you're coming from Pittsfield it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.
