New York whitewater - Salmon River, Adirondack Mountains, Franklin County

Franklin county, Mt. View Lake to Hatch Brook section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-IV     3.9 miles
  If you're coming from Malone it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The wonderful Franklin County scenery and the playfulness of the water beats anything. The Mt. View Lake to Hatch Brook stretch of Salmon River in New York is 3.9 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-IV section of whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in New York tend to be more challenging than the national average, so better not forget that rivers here are less forgiving.
    There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the Mt. View Lake to Hatch Brook section is one of them. You
might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of spots for that. This section is quite short so no need to bring snacks. When you're paddling down a Adirondack Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.

Briefly about the general area:
For the duration of the months of summer, highs regularly
 
are in the 70's at Salmon River. Once the sun is down it sinks down to the 50's. Through the winter highs are in the 20's while Salmon River night low temperatures throughout the wintertime are in the 0's. There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby Titus Mountain, and no need to travel far to have a look at attention-grabbing stuff like Oxbow.
The high level of rainfall makes Salmon River a relatively wet site; most of the rain falls through August, and February is the month with the least moisture. Just can't get enough of the Adirondack Mountains. High Falls is always fun to check out.
