Whitewater paddling and steep creaking adventures are available for seasoned kayakers who are looking for a rush of adrenaline to accompany their journey through the Adirondacks.
Kayakers can challenge themselves on whitewater rapids on the Hudson River Gorge, the Black River, Moose River, parts of the Grass River and the Sacandaga River.
The rapids vary according to spring runoff, water levels and whether or not they are dam-released rivers, such as the Sacandaga.
Extreme kayakers can jump falls on any of the Grass River's eight waterfalls and Essex County offers the most waterfalls in the Adirondacks.
