Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but
do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Little River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Aldrich to Oswegatchie stretch is the only one. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. You can pitch
a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in New York is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere.
