county,
Big Brook to Route 8 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III 3.5 miles
The natural beauty of New York and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside New York you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so better not forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. 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. The Adirondack Mountains scenery is wonderful.
This is a bit of a short stretch so no need to bring snacks. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This river system is full of great paddling stretches,
the Big Brook to Route 8 stretch is just one of them. The Big Brook to Route 8 stretch of West Canada Creek in New York is 3.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III section. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
