This stretch of Israel River in New Hampshire is 4.7 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II section. There are some good hotels near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This is a pretty decent length section, it's good length for a morning trip. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. The campgrounds here at Israel River are pretty
    good. This is the only paddling section along Israel River. The natural beauty of Coos County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this
state than those in other states, so keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. When you're paddling down a White Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too.
