The average New York whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. This stretch of Raquette River in Franklin County is 2 miles long and it is classified as a class II section by American Whitewater. The beautiful scenery
of New York and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. This is a bit of a short stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours
on the river in one stretch. The starting point is not too far from Ogdensburg-Massena, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. This is not the only paddling stretch in this river system, there are others too. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up
quick.
