New York whitewater - Salmon River, Oswego/ Lewis County

Oswego/ Lewis county, Salmon River Dam to Bennett Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  If you're coming from Syracuse it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The wonderful New York scenery and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations
    you might end up sleeping in your car. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The Salmon River Dam to Bennett Bridge section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came.
Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. This is a short paddling stretch so better bring some good walking shoes.
