coming here. On this section you do get some distance, it's good length for a morning trip. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The Starbuckville to Riverbank section of Schroon River in New York is 6 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater
as a class II-III section. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside New York you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy.

You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good spots for that around here.
