The Hudson River Gorge is the most dynamic stretch of the mighty Hudson River, which runs from the highest peak in the Adirondack Mountains all the way to New York City. This stretch of the Hudson River is one of the top 10 rafting trips in the United States. Spring trips on the Hudson River offer challenging World Class Rapids through the Adirondack Wilderness. In the summer and fall the Hudson is perfect for people of all ages and ability levels. There is no better way to view the Fall Foliage!

The 17 mile trip starts with 3.5 miles on the Indian River, with continuous Class III rapids to warm up. Then it's 14 miles of Class III & IV on the Hudson River with rapids like Blue Ledges, The Narrows, Mile Long Rapid & Harris Rift. We also raft 13 miles on the Hudson Middle Gorge when levels allow.

Our friendly, enthusiastic, and experienced guides will make your day on the river special. State-of-the-art equipment and self-bailing SOTAR rafts ensure safety and fun on the river. Spring rafting included a BBQ dinner at our adirondack base camp.

The North River to North Creek section requires a 3.5’ river level.  The scenery is spectacular along Route 28 and the keyhole waterfall is beautiful as it flows out of the mountain, then it is on to the North Creek Train Station.  This river section is class I and II and is a great float.

The Middle Gorge from North Creek to the Glen requires a 4’ river level.

North Creek to Riparius is a 7 mile section that has been made famous by the Hudson River Derby, which started 51 years ago in 1958. The North Creek Brook, Collins Mountain, Bird Pond and Spruce Mountain rapids have given open canoers stories for a life time. This river section is class II and III and is excellent for youth groups (age 5+).

The Riparius to the Glen 6 mile section narrows and picks up the Mill Creek adding water to the Class II and III rapids.  Horse Shoe Falls can be difficult and challenging when the river gets above 6’.  This section mirrors the upper Hudson, in high water giving rafters a taste of what the upper Hudson River Gorge is all about.

Pick your river toy – Raft, Tube or Ducky for the Middle Hudson River Gorge.
