New York whitewater - Hudson River, Saratoga/Warren County

Saratoga/Warren county, Spier Falls to Sherman Island section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-V     3.6 miles
  The wonderful Saratoga/Warren County scenery and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in New York are often more challenging than in other states, so better not forget that many runs in this state are not easy. The put-in is not too far from Glens Falls, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. There are many good hotels to choose from, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Since you're on
    this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. This is a pretty short section so no need to bring snacks. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Getting your paddling muscles activated
and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. There are plenty of other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well.

Briefly about the general area:
Hudson River sees pretty high levels of rainfall; of all the months in a year November is the one with the most rain while February is regularly the driest month.
Really perfect skiing awaits you at West Mountain, and Spier Falls is always fun to check out. Through the warm days of summer here at Hudson River, high temperatures regularly get into the
 
70's. During the moonlight hours it's mostly in the 50's. Highs all through the winter are generally in the 20's with winter lows in the 0's overnight here at Hudson River.
