Hudson River 3-Day Overnight Trip
Hudson River 3-Day Overnight Trip
Class III-IV
17 or 26 miles
April - October
TRIP OVERVIEW
The 26 mile overnight trip starts at the Lake Harris Boat Launch in Newcomb, NY. After a half-mile paddle we are swept out of the lake and into the Hudson River. The first days' rapids are the mildest on the entire trip. Some may choose to paddle inflatable kayaks on this first day. We camp after 9 miles at the confluence with the Cedar River, one of the finest sites on the river. On Day two we reach the Indian River confluence after just 3 miles. Here we may pick up some extra water from the Day Trip dam release. The Hudson River Gorge is where all of the best rapids are on the trip. We may choose to camp in the Gorge or below. All meals are included.

WHAT TO BRING
In the Spring and cooler days in the Fall, you will be wearing a wetsuit that we provide. The wetsuit consists of three main parts : the wetsuit john, wetsuit jacket, and wetsuit booties. You need to provide the insulation to wear under the wetsuit and against your body. The most commonly used are synthetic long underwear, similar to what you would wear skiing. Bring wool or fleece socks that will fit inside the booties. Bring a wool or fleece hat to fit under a helmet. NO COTTON !
In the warmer months of July and August rafters can wear whatever clothes they don't mind getting wet. Cotton is acceptable, but still stays wet longer than synthetic materials. Shorts and a T-shirt or a bathing suit are the most common. You need to have something secure on your feet. Not just so you don't lose them if you swim, but more importantly, so you have good support when walking around on the river shore.
Please no flip-flops, Crocs, or bare feet.
- Shorts & T-shirt or Bathing Suit
