New York whitewater - Sacandaga River, Adirondack Mountains, Hamilton County

Hamilton county, Christine Falls to East Branch section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-V+     7.5 miles
  The nature scenery of New York and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. This stretch of Sacandaga River in Hamilton County is 7.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-V+ section. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this
    state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. This stretch is mid length, it's good length for a morning trip. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or
kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places. The Adirondack Mountains scenery is wonderful. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The starting location is a short drive from Gloversville, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page.
