Hudson

This section is just becoming practically accessible, thanks to recent property acquisitions by New York State. For now this information can be considered less than completely reliable.

This section can be treated as a single run of about 12.5 miles, or as two sections, from Newcomb to slightly downstream of the Goodnow River (7 miles), and from there to the confluence with the Indian River (5.5 miles). The entire stretch is  very remote, and at  modest levels will range from calm to class 2, with short stretches possibly aproaching class 3. Access at the Goodnow River is from the north, by way of a road that is mostly at least 1 mile from the river.  Access to the lower parts of this section is from the south via Chain Lakes Road (same as for the gorge), and perhaps by other roads depending on the final managment plan for the newly acquired lands.

The mileage is based on putting in at a public boat launch on Harris Lake and paddling about 1.25 miles to the Hudson River. Since much of the river will usually be fairly placid the 12.5 miles  will probably feel even longer than the 15 mile Hudson gorge section. The listed take out  is for the first 7 miles. See the directions on the Hudson gorge (Indian River to North Creek) section for info on the take out near the confluence with the Indian.
