    to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This is a short paddling stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. This is not the only paddling section in
this river system, there are others too. The scenic beauty of New York and the water flowing gracefully down Oswegatchie River - East Branch make the trip here worthwhile. The starting location is a short drive from Ogdensburg-Massena, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.
