 The Sacandaga River, in
the scenic Lake George and Saratoga regions of the southern
Adirondack Mountains, offers an inexpensive introduction to
whitewater rafting for the whole family. Class II-III rapids
alternating with fast-moving flatwater provide the perfect
environment to learn basic paddling techniques. The river's wild and
secluded corridor normally provides ample opportunity for swimming
and splashing on warm summer days.
The
Sacandaga rafting adventure is a two-hour trip covering about 3.5
miles (5.5 km) between Stewart's Dam in the town of Hadley and the
Sacandaga’s confluence with the Hudson River. Controlled water
releases by Niagara-Mohawk provide sufficient water levels for daily
rafting from Memorial Day until Columbus Day.
Sacandaga's professional outfitters offer hourly trips each
day during the summer and can almost always accommodate walk-in
customers. Fall trips are run on weekends or by reservation.
