River Description
For a good description please see the Hudson river from Indian Lake to North River. This river typically is not run by itself as the run would result in a hike out of about 3 miles.
Update: The NYSDEC plans to purchase the formerly private land now used as a hunting club, which extends from shortly downstream of the put in for the dam to the confluence with the Hudson. This should open access to the Hudson and make this a viable run. More information is available HERE

...River Features
Otter Slide
Above the usual put in, the Otter Slide drops perhaps 15 feet into a hole with a rock wall on one side.
Put In
First rapid
Almost as soon as you leave the put in eddy you'll be in the thick of it. This rapid is nearly a mile long.
Second rapid
After a brief stretch of calmer water things pick up to class 3 or 3+ again. The meat of this rapid is perhaps 1/2 mile long.
