county,
Beacon section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-IV 0.25 miles
The average New York whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The beautiful scenery of Dutchess County and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. This section is very short so better bring some good walking shoes. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, and if you make
reservations in advance you're all set. The Beacon section is the only paddling section along Fish Kill River.
