The Black River Canyon, near Watertown, NY, is a rare whitewater gem … an unusual warm-water rafting mecca. Summertime whitewater rafting on the Black River is as good as it gets. Narrow canyon walls force the river through tumultuous passageways where boulders and ledges turn the fast-moving currents into exhilarating whitewater. Come during May and June for the highest flows and most powerful whitewater of the year.
- Class 3-4+ rapids
- Minimum age of 14
- 3-4 hours on the river, 5-6 hours total of your day
Please Note: Whitewater rapids, on-river time and total time can vary based on weather and water conditions.
