There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. The South Newfane to West River stretch of Rock
