New York whitewater - Elm Creek, St. Lawrence County

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

 
  If you're coming from Ogdensburg-Massena it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in New York are harder than the national norm, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. This stretch is mid length, you can easily run it on an afternoon. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. A bit of exercise and spending
    some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. The natural beauty of New York and the water flowing gracefully down Elm Creek attract people from near and far. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem
but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Elm Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Fairbanks Corners to Cousintown Road section is the only one.
