The average New York whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so better not forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The Brooktrout Lake to South Branch Moose stretch is the only paddling stretch along Indian River. There are campgrounds quite near the river     where you can camp. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. When you're paddling down a Adirondack Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more.
