CLASS I-III 11 miles
This stretch of St. Regis River in St. Lawrence County is 11 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I-III section of whitewater. The nature scenery of New York and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in New York tend to be more
challenging than the national average, so keep in mind that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camping stuff. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing
to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The starting point is not too far from Ogdensburg-Massena, as you can see on the road map further down. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come.
