New York whitewater - Ten Mile River, Dutchess County

Dutchess county, Wassaic to NY line section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way
    this is an area with plenty of places for that. If you're coming from Torrington it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Ten Mile River doesn't
have a lot of paddling stretches, the Wassaic to NY line stretch is the only one. The natural beauty of Dutchess County and the water flowing gracefully down Ten Mile River make the trip here worthwhile.
