CLASS III-IV+     2.7 miles
  The Hawkinsville to Port Leyden section of Black River in Oneida / Lewis County is 2.7 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV+ section. The scenic beauty of Oneida / Lewis County and the water flowing gracefully down Black River beats anything. There are so many stretches to paddle in this river system, the Hawkinsville to Port Leyden stretch is just one of many. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in
    New York is often tougher than elsewhere, so better not forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. 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. The starting point is not too far from Utica-Rome. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. The campgrounds here at Black River are pretty good. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good places.
