OVERNIGHT CAMPING TRIPS
Hudson River Gorge
17 or 24 miles
Class III-IV
2-Days / 1 Night
April 1 - June 15, 2008 - Trips Launch Daily
June 17 - October 11, 2008 - Trips Launch Saturday
The 17 mile trip starts on the Indian River, launching from the same spot as our day trips. After 3 miles of exciting Class III, we reach the Hudson and can choose a campsite above the Gorge and save the heavy whitewater for Day 2. It is possible to camp within the Gorge when water levels and group sizes allow. All sites are ideal for fishing, swimming and hiking.
The 24 mile trip begins on the Upper-Upper Hudson River in the Town of Newcomb. Few people have seen this part of the Hudson because it travels through mostly private land. This stretch is only an option when water levels are high, generally in the Spring and early Summer. On this trip we camp at the confluence of the Cedar and Hudson Rivers. This is a beautiful campsite.
Both trips include the 8 miles of nearly continuous whitewater that we call The Hudson Gorge. All trips end in North River.
