| White Water Rafting Hudson River Gorge |
| The Hudson River Gorge is rated one of America's top ten white water rivers. It consists of 13-miles of very turbulent waters which provide a series of difficult Class V rapids, with numerous souse holes and powerful hydraulics. Periodic releases from Indian Lake maintains high water levels in the Gorge through out the summer. This is a wonderful adventure trip for the whole family, summer water levels are not as radical as the spring and fall trips, but still packs a good punch and provides a lot a fun. There are numerous outfitters that provide trips down the river on release days, they all provide lunch on the river and many provide a snack or meal after the trip. Warning: This area should only be traveled with a reputable outfitter unless you are an expert paddler. |
| Hudson River North River |
| This 23-mile stretch begins in North River until you reach the Schroon River. The first 5 miles (to North Creek) are gentle with a few Class II rapids. After North Creek, the remaining 18 miles gets a little more exciting with some Class III rapids and ledge drops along the way. The river has beautiful scenery and some wildlife sightings. Warning: Summer water levels can be low - keep on the watch for shallow water. |
