  • Croton River, Croton, NY, class 3 whitewater river Croton River

  • Deerfield, Monroe Bridge (Dryway), Monroe, MA, class 4 whitewater river Deerfield, Monroe Bridge (Dryway)
    The Dryway is for better or worse the definition of a class 4 in our area. With frequent releases in a beautiful area, it's as good as spot as any to step up and a great place to practice moves. But don't let it's popularity full you...nearly every major rapid has had serious injuries. This is no place for shaky skills or a sometimes roll.

    Beautiful Class 2 somewhat marred by a road near much of the nicer sections.

    Pretty pond to practice rolling, relatively clean. Access road is seldom in….

  • Housatonic River Bulls Bridge, Gaylordsville, CT, class 4 whitewater river Housatonic River Bulls Bridge
    This is a frequently run section with a solid class 4 start. Details are on bullsbridge.info  . At higher levels there are a number of bad holes, so this section should not be attempted without a good guide or mad skills.

  • Hudson Gorge, North River, NY, class 3 whitewater river 
    Hudson Gorge

  • Ken Lockwood Gorge (South Branch of the Raritan River), Califon, NJ , class 3 whitewater river

    Moodna Creek holds well and can be run at a wide range of levels; creeky at lower levels, avoidable big holes at higher levels.

  • Neversink River Gorge, Monticello, NY, class 3 whitewater river Neversink River Gorge
    the Neversink is mostly class 1 to 2, but has about 1.5 miles of exciting class 3 to 4 rapids about halfway through. The gorge is very remote and isolated

  • Scudders Falls, Ewing Township, NJ , venue river Scudders Falls
    Scudders Falls is a wave and is a great place to learn everything from combat rolling and surfing to advanced playboating in a relatively safe and often running spot. Though KCCNY occasionally organizes trips when it's running folks often just show up. 

  • Tohickon Creek, Pipersville, PA, class 3 whitewater river Tohickon Creek
    Our classic step up river with several creeky drops not normally found on class 3 rivers. With a good guide someone solid on the Mongaup can have a great time. First weekend of Nov. and 3rd weekend of March releases are the classic bookends of the release season and many folks paddling seasons, with camping along the river at the take out unless the Delaware is flooding.

  • West River, Jamaica, VT, class 3 whitewater river West River
