New York whitewater, Oswegatchie River - East Branch St. Lawrence county, Inlet to Wanakena section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-IV     2.2 miles   Would you please let me know what the kyaking conditions are from Inlet Road to the village of Wanakena. I am going to be at Wanakena this coming weekend and am considering kyaking from Inlet Road to Wanakena. Please let me know if the water level is high enough to float with limited carries. Also, the group consists of limited experienced kyakers. I noticed from Google Satelite photos that there seems to be sections of white water - I am     not sure what season the photo is from but one phots seems to be from summer and another closer to Wanakena, Spring with considerable runoff. I noticed from your description above that it is class II-IV Water. Please describe the degree of difficulty in general for that distance, and if coming into class IV areas are they visible and easily avoided by carries. If so, how long and difficult are the carries, and how many ? Your information will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Rick McCurdy Says Rick McCurdy The put-in location is a short drive from Ogdensburg-Massena, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The   nature scenery of New York and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. When you're paddling down a Adirondack Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in New York tend to be more challenging than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. There are plenty of other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well.
