Below Allen Falls to Sandfordville section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in New York are often tougher than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The wonderful New York scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. This section of St. Regis River - West Branch is 10 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The Below Allen Falls to Sandfordville stretch is one of many paddling stretches in this
river system. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camp stove too. 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.
