Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so keep in mind that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The scenic beauty of New York and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. The Natural Bridge to Antwerp section of Indian River in Lewis/ Jefferson County is 20 miles long and it is classified as a class II section by American |
Whitewater. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The Natural Bridge to Antwerp section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this
| area has a large number of paddling places. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your sleeping bag. If you're coming from Watertown-Fort Drum 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. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
