Orange/ Sullivan
county,
Rio Dam to Delaware River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III 2.9 miles
The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in New York are often more challenging than in other states, so keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The natural beauty of New York and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. The Rio Dam to Delaware River section is the only paddling section along Mongaup River. You might have
to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. This section of Mongaup
River is 2.9 miles long and it is classified as a class II-III section by American Whitewater.
