    stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camp stove too. The campgrounds here at Mettawee River are pretty good. The starting point is not too far from Glens Falls, as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in
this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good rivers.
