Mt. View Lake to Hatch Brook section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-IV 3.9 miles
The starting location is a reasonable drive from Malone, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in New York is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The wonderful Franklin County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. This section of Salmon River is 3.9 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-IV section. Whitewater paddling here in the Adirondack
Mountains is a great experience. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations
in advance you're all set. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Mt. View Lake to Hatch Brook section is one of them. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. This is a short paddling stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over.

It's always brilliant to take a look at High Falls. Salmon River sees pretty high levels of rain; most of the rain falls all through August, and February is when it's the driest.
