Orange/ Sullivan county, Rio Dam to Delaware River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     2.9 miles
  This section of Mongaup River in New York is 2.9 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. The scenic beauty of Orange/ Sullivan County and the cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. This is a short paddling stretch so no need to bring snacks. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. And of course,
    there are campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. The average New York whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that the
rivers in this state are less manageable. The Rio Dam to Delaware River stretch is the only paddling stretch along Mongaup River.
