Penn Yan to Dresden section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-III(V+) 7.5 miles
The average New York whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The beautiful scenery of New York and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. This section of Keuka Outlet in New York is 7.5 miles long and has been rated as a class I-III(V+) section by American Whitewater. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. On this section
you do get some distance, suitable for an afternoon trip. The Penn Yan to Dresden stretch is the only paddling stretch along Keuka Outlet. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. Lodging is
available near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The starting point is not too far from Seneca Falls, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.
