Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners.

The Sprague Brook to Hudson River stretch is one of a few paddling
    stretches in this river system. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling rivers. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so go ahead and pack
your sleeping bag. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
