New York whitewater - Elm Creek, St. Lawrence County

St. Lawrence county, Fairbanks Corners to Cousintown Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  The scenic beauty of New York and the cool fresh water beats anything. The average New York whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The starting location is a short drive from Ogdensburg-Massena, as you can see on the road map further down. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling places. The nearby hotels are a bit away
    from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, you can easily run it on an afternoon. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of
people. The Fairbanks Corners to Cousintown Road section is the only paddling section along Elm Creek.
