Downstream from Bogardus Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. This section of Bowery Brook in New York is 2 miles long and it is classified as a class III-V section by American Whitewater. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The wonderful Greene County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Bowery Brook attract people from near and far. There are
no other stretches to paddle along Bowery Brook than the Downstream from Bogardus Road stretch. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This stretch is short so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. The Catskill Mountains scenery is wonderful.
You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
