New York whitewater - Schoharie Creek, Catskill Mountains, Greene County Greene county, Lexington to Prattsville section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-III     9 miles   Cam you get some stats on the Schoharie Creek from Blenhiem Bridge to Central Bridge ? My husband, friends and I have been kayaking that section for over 3 years. My husband and his friends were doing it in canoes prior to that. You can't do the whole thing in one day. It has to be broke up in sections. But it is so beautiful down through there. It's a mix of white water and calm water. The nature you encounter through there is you can't see everyday. Ever have an eagle fly not more then 10 feet away from you, or see a nest of ravens with the young     ones screaming for lunch ? Well those are just a few of the things we have seen. Also we've only encountered 1 canoe in the 3 years and they bailed by the rock cliffs in Blenhiem.
