CLASS II-IV 3.9 miles
The Mt. View Lake to Hatch Brook section of Salmon River in Franklin County is 3.9 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-IV section. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so better not forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The starting location is a short drive from Malone, as you can see on the road map further down. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The scenic beauty of Franklin County and the beautiful
way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river
for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. This is a pretty short section so no need to bring snacks. The beautiful Adirondack Mountains scenery is an added bonus.
