Recommendations from Adrian VandenBout. This is another of the Finger Lakes Outlet streams, many of which are runnable. (See the Canandaigua, Keuka, and Owasco Outlets for other examples.) This run sports two great class III-IV drops. One is perfect roadside park'n'huck (Papermill Falls, on Papermill Road). The other, Triphammer Falls, has been accessed and run frequently by the young members of FLOW, after asking landowner permission. Papermill Road (and Park, right after the Falls), would make a great takeout for a run. Triphammer is a mile upstream.Click here for a description and some pictures of Papermill Falls. Lat/longitude coords are an estimate from Google Maps.

If someone gets hurt on a river, or you read about a whitewater-related injury, please report it to American Whitewater. Don't worry about multiple submissions from other witnesses, as our safety editors will turn multiple witness reports into a single unified accident report.
Paddlers on the Lehigh River below the Francis E. Walter Dam and Reservoir are concerned that a planned study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its partners, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection will lead to a reduction in whitewater boating opportunities on the Lehigh. The study will evaluate the feasibility of various alternatives to optimize project operation. Aside from the project's authorized primary missions of flood risk management and recreation, the study will also consider water supply and water quality, to identify possible improvements to the existing structure, infrastructure, and operations that will support current and future demands within the region. The Army Corps is holding a public meeting on January 9, 2020 at the Mountain Laurel Resort in White Haven, PA from 6-8 p.m. to explain the study and hear public comments. American Whitewater, Appalachian Mountain Club, and other organizations are expected to file comments with the Army Corps prior to the September 29th deadline in order to share our concerns about the study and potential impacts on boating, the outdoor recreation economy, and the Delaware RIver Basin. We encourage our members to attend the public meeting to voice their concerns.
2010 marked the 25th anniversary of protecting the Black and Moose rivers! View an online video documentary on the Moose River and the early role that American Whitewater played in protecting this amazing river.
