The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The wonderful New York scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty
of rivers for that. This is a pretty decent length section, good for a one day paddling trip. No shortage of good hotels, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The Big Indian to Allaben
section of Esopus Creek is 5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II(III) section.
