New York whitewater - Oswego River, Oswego County

Oswego county, From Lock 7 Dam section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in New York tend to be more challenging than the national average, so better not forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. The scenic beauty of Oswego County and the water flowing gracefully down Oswego River are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This is a very short section so better bring some good walking shoes. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. The put-in location is a reasonable drive
    from Auburn, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way around here you won't find a large number of other spots. No shortage of good hotels, but
if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is the only paddling section along Oswego River. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
