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
