River Description


The put-in for this, the first of four regularly run whitewater sections on the Moose River can be found on Route 28 just south of Singing Waters Campground where the river is visible from the road. There is another put-in just to the north of Singing Waters on a side road also. This section of river is primarily a class II and fast moving water run. At low levels it is a scrape and rub rock garden. There is one named rapid, Nelson's Falls that is considered a class IV. Nelson's is a fun 3 drop rapid with some undercuts and is often the site of big strainers! Check out the description in the CNY site See Also: "I would not suggest this section is suitable for beginners but at even 3.0 ft to 3.5 it is a fun stretch to play and practice river reading skills."
