Here are a few key suggestions to make your whitewater experience the best All rafting trips on the Upper Hudson River include self-bailing rafts, PFD’s (life jackets), paddles, helmets, specialized equipment, first aid supplies. Wetsuits, wetsuit booties and paddle jackets are available to rent. Temperatures and weather conditions vary quite a bit during rafting season – from winter like snow and cold in early spring to hot and sunny weather during the summer. If you are planning on wearing a wetsuit (spring, fall and cool days during the summer) plan on wearing non cotton long underwear or swimwear under the wetsuit. The better option is tops and bottoms made of synthetics such as nylon, polypropylene, capilene, polyester, fleece, silk or wool are all designed to keep you warm when wet. For most summer trips – shorts or a bathing suit are fine with either a short sleeve or long sleeve non cotton top. Footwear in the summer is ideally shoes that you don’t mind getting wet and that will stay on your feet. In the colder seasons we wear wetsuit booties. Bring Extra clothing, Sunscreen, Water, Restraining Strap for Glasses, Waterproof Camera, and Smiles! Adult beverages are welcome after the rafting trip. Drinking or intoxicating drug
use is strictly prohibited before and during all trips. We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule your trip if we suspect you have been drinking. Rafting is a great way to get together with your family, friends, coworkers or just have an adventure by yourself. The most important ingredient is a good attitude! Most rivers in the world are rated on the International Scale of River Difficulty, Class I-Class VI. Class I is flat water with some current – essentially moving water. Class VI is impossible and impassable - like a waterfall. Generally Spring levels can reach Class III, Class IV, and even Class V at high levels. The summer levels on the Hudson River are generally Class II to Class III+. However additional rainfall can quickly jump up river levels and rapid intensity. Even low water on the Hudson is still an adventure class whitewater rafting trip. It is never a float trip or “baby” water. Raft guides are CPR/First Aid Certified, and licensed by the state of New York as whitewater raft guides. Many guides are EMT’s, Wilderness EMT’s, as well as Swift Water Rescue Technicians. So, your choice is to pick the company with the most expertise on the water, guiding your raft, shaping your experience and focusing on your safety. by Dick Carlson
