Whitewater Rafting Adventures Across North America

Hudson River | New York Just 3.5 hours from New York City is North Creek, the raftable portion of the Hudson River. This area is often associated with the Kennedys because both Bobby Kennedy Sr. and Jr. spent so much time on the river and Bobby Jr. is one of the most outspoken advocates for its preservation. This is the perfect juxtaposition of metropolis and rustic: the glorious Hudson rushing down from the summit of the Adirondack Mountains, through narrows and gorges - so far from the big city, yet if you followed the river to its end (which you can't, of course), you'd be in Gotham.
