Hamilton county, Abanakee Dam to Hudson River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-V     2.5 miles
  The natural beauty of Hamilton County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. The Abanakee Dam to Hudson River section of Indian River in New York is 2.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-V section. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in New York are often tougher than in other states, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. Whitewater paddling here in the Adirondack Mountains is a great experience. Getting a good workout
    and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling rivers. This section is quite short so better bring some good walking shoes. Indian River doesn't have a lot of paddling
sections, the Abanakee Dam to Hudson River section is the only one. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
