Aldrich to Oswegatchie section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

section, you can easily run it on an afternoon. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling rivers. The Aldrich to Oswegatchie stretch of Little River is 6.2 miles long
and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Little River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Aldrich to Oswegatchie stretch is the only one.
