CLASS II-III 6 miles
The starting point is not too far from Utica-Rome. This section of Black River is 6 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III section. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, good for a one day paddling trip. Whether
you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. 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 many of the sections here are not safe for beginners.
