Whitewater paddling here in the White Mountains is a great experience. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in New Hampshire is often tougher than elsewhere, so don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. There are no other stretches
    to paddle along Fowler River than the Alexandria stretch. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good places.
The natural beauty of Grafton County and the water flowing gracefully down Fowler River attract people from near and far. 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. On this section you do get some distance, good for a one day paddling trip.
