The nature scenery of New York and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.

Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. Whitewater rafting and kayaking
    spots in New York are harder than the national norm, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. This stretch has enough
mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your camping stuff too. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too.
