The starting location is a short drive from Amsterdam, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's perfect for a one day trip. Getting a good workout and a chance
to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. There are no other stretches to paddle along Spruce
Creek than the Salisbury to Dolgeville stretch. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that lots of rivers here are not for beginners.
