Overview

Wildlflowers greet you along the riverbanks. Amish horse-drawn buggies trot about town. Scenic pastures stretch out as far as you can see. These highpoints alone make NY's popular Salmon River well worth the trip. The Salmon, so varyingly picturesque, is also known for its gradually increasing challenges. This fun route is mostly Class 2 whitewater, but even affords an easy mid-point bail out spot, if wished. There are some swifter, yet still avoidable, Class 3 action at the end for people stepping up their skill level. Lots of wave play spots abound, including "Titanic," a very friendly hole to learn how to side surf (or to find out what window-shading means). We welcome KCCNY on this joint adventure, especially to join our group camp site reserved at Stoney's Pineville Campground. Contribute to the pot luck campfire party Sat. night. This trip requires car shuttling, Also required are whitewater outfitted boats & equipment, and prior Class 2 whitewater experience. Unsure about your skills? Take our June 21-23 course to raise your level of confidence --and your level of thrills. Some of our recent students may be ready for this trip if we 've coached you on other follow-up trips. Let's talk. ; ) All participants, including KCCNY, must please register here.
