CLASS III-V     1 miles
  The Route 125 to West Stony Creek section of Holmes Lake Outlet is 1 miles long and is a class III-V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The scenic beauty of New York and the water flowing gracefully down Holmes Lake Outlet attract people from near and far. 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 not as easy as elsewhere. Holmes Lake Outlet doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Route 125 to West
    Stony Creek stretch is the only one. This is a very short section so better bring some good walking shoes. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Gloversville, there's
a road map further down the page with more info on that. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. The beauty of the Adirondack Mountains is a great plus for this river.
