New York whitewater - Moose River, Oneida/ Lewis County

Oneida/ Lewis county, Rock Island to Fowlersville section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV     9 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The natural beauty of New York and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. On this section you do get some distance, it's good length for a morning trip. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Utica-Rome, there's a road map further down the
    page with more info on that. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll
find lots of paddling rivers. The Rock Island to Fowlersville stretch of Moose River in New York is 9 miles long and is a class IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. There's camping available near Moose River.
