Essex county, Beaver Meadow Brook to Northway section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     17.6 miles
  If you're coming from Plattsburgh it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. The beautiful scenery of Essex County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The Beaver Meadow Brook to Northway stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this river system. The Adirondack Mountains scenery is wonderful. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some
    time outdoors will have you coming back for more. You can enjoy this section more if you take your time, so pack your sleeping bag. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so you'd better keep
in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The Beaver Meadow Brook to Northway stretch of Boquet River in New York is 17.6 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater.
