New York whitewater - Negro Brook, Lewis County

Lewis county, Boshart Road to East Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV-V+     1 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in New York is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many runs in this state are not easy. The Boshart Road to East Road section of Negro Brook in New York is 1 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V+ section. The natural beauty of New York and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. The Boshart Road to East Road stretch is the only paddling stretch along Negro Brook. There's camping available near Negro Brook. A good
    workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. This is an extremely short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. 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. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Watertown-Fort Drum, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.
