Go Whitewater Rafting in the Adirondacks

Like hiking, mountain biking, and paddling, whitewater rafting is one of the quintessential warm weather activities here in the Adirondacks. Local rafting companies provide the gear and guidance you need to get out on the river, so all you need to bring is your adventurous spirit and some sunscreen.

About Whitewater Rafting In The Adirondacks

Whitewater rafting on the Hudson River in the central Adirondacks is rafting at its best. In early spring, the snowmelt creates intense rapids perfect for experienced adrenaline seekers. As spring turns to summer, the Hudson calms down, and families can enjoy a less intense whitewater rafting trip. Scheduled water releases from the Lake Abanakee dam make whitewater adventures possible for the full season, from April to October.

There are many reputable rafting companies to choose from in this region of the Adirondacks, and some offer other adventures like lazy river tubing, river kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding in addition to whitewater rafting. If you have questions on age or height restrictions, rates, or logistics, you’ll want to contact your company of choice directly.

Adirondack whitewater rafting companies include:

• Square Eddy Expeditions
• Adirondack Adventures – enjoy $10 off your next rafting adventure for parties of four or more!
• Whitewater Challengers
• North Creek Rafting Company
• Beaverbrook Outfitters
• Wild Waters Outdoor Center
