  • Croton River, Croton, NY, class 3 whitewater river croton river at the dam
    Croton is a short run convenient to the NY suburbs for many of our members. It really isn't class 3 at normal levels, but has several dams and a  rocky stretch that are normally run and present hazards

  • Deerfield, Monroe Bridge (Dryway), Monroe, MA, class 4 whitewater river dragons-tooth-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.

  • Garfield Boys and Girls Club Pool, Garfield, NJ, unclassified place Garfield boys and girls club pool with kayakers
    Our beautiful pool. Enter thru the door that says the pool entrance is further along the ramp with your clean boat and equipment. Spacious locker rooms are thru the doors to the right of the bleachers.
