Grafton county, Warren section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     3.8 miles
  The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in New Hampshire are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The beautiful scenery of New Hampshire and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. The Warren stretch of Baker River is 3.8 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class V section of whitewater. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far
    and near. This is a short paddling stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do
book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The river winds through the White Mountains and you get great scenery. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Warren section is one of them.
