Gauge Information
River Description
Otter Creek is a very pretty stream with good character. It's mostly continuous class III, with one serious Class-V drop (easily portaged--it's right after a dam, portage left). Most of the run is boat-scoutable--but be wary of wood! Great run to do with the Independence.
Logistics:
To Takeout: Coming North on NY 12 from the South, turn Right onto Main St., just half a mile after Johnson Rd. on the right. Bear right at the next intersection, staying on Main.
At the next main intersection, bear Right onto Greig Rd. Cross the Black River.
After about 1/2 mile, take a Left onto Otter Creek Rd. After about 2 miles, you'll reach a T intersection with Pine Grove Rd. This is the takeout. The best parking spot is a few yards before the intersection with Pine Grove Rd., a sandy turnout on the left (North) side of the road.
To Putin:
From Otter Creek Rd., take a Right (South) onto Pine Grove Road.
After 2-3 miles, take your Second Left onto Brantingham Rd.
In Brantingham, take a Left onto Partridgeville Rd.
After 4-5 miles, bear Left. The road will cross the river in half a mile or less; park and carry your boats upstream to run the first rapid.
