New York whitewater - Doig Creek, Adirondack Mountains, Hamilton County

Hamilton county, Pumpkin Hollow Road to Sacandaga River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III+(IV)     3 miles
  The Pumpkin Hollow Road to Sacandaga River stretch of Doig Creek is 3 miles long and is a class III+(IV) section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in New York tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. 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. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have people
    coming from far and near. The nature scenery of Hamilton County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. There are no other sections to paddle along Doig Creek than the Pumpkin Hollow Road to Sacandaga River section. The wild scenery of the
Adirondack Mountains is great. This stretch is short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling places. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The put-in is not too far from Gloversville, as you can see on the road map further down.
