Jefferson
county,
US Route 11 to Lake Ontario section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside New York you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so you'd better keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove. This is the only paddling section along Sandy Creek. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. If you're
coming from Watertown-Fort Drum it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good spots. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just
hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. The wonderful New York scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle.
