Whitewater rafting and kayaking in New York is often tougher than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in     advance you're all set. The beauty of the Catskill Mountains is a great plus for this river. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The nature scenery of Schoharie County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places.
