CLASS II-V+     6 miles
  This section of Grass River in New York is 6 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-V+ section. If you're coming from Ogdensburg-Massena it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside New York you might find
    the rivers here a bit more challenging, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The nature scenery of New York and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. The Woods Bridge Road to Route 47 below Harrison Creek
section is one of many paddling sections in this river system. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. This stretch is mid length, suitable for an afternoon trip. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
