Hudson Gorge (Class III+) with Rafting

Long, 15-mile day that ends in a 3-mile float out. Remote, with long, wide rapids, so class 3+ with a near bomb-proof roll or brace (’cause if you’ve got a great brace you don’t need a roll;-) and the ability to pick a line in big water and blast a hole. (Tohicon level at the least).

Starts with several miles on the Indian which is like the hardest hundred yards of the Mongaup for nearly a mile. Be forewarned. If you swim on the Indian we’ll have the talk. If you swim twice on the Indian you are walking off, period, as once you enter the gorge things get very remote.

Lots of play.

Raft going as well and looking for a few folks to fill it.

There’s also beautiful and more accessible easier paddling below the gorge.

Plenty of camping in the area and lots to do.

We may be paddling with Adirondack AMC so you may need to sign their waiver. BBQ at a local house with Adirondack AMC to follow.
