Nate and Becky Pelton are the owners identified on North Creek Rafting Company’s safety page. Their Adirondack guiding experience spans more than two decades. Nate’s published New York State guide-license number is 3026 .
Whitewater rafting in New York
The Hudson River Gorge is the company’s main published New York whitewater day: 17 miles, Class III–IV, from the Indian River into the Hudson Gorge and toward North River. Season, water level and the crew’s requirements shape the trip. A fresh riverside lunch and required gear are included in the published day rate.
For a longer river plan, Nate’s company offers two-, three- and four-day Hudson overnight trips. The guides work with the group on river camps, meals and route possibilities rather than treating every river level as the same itinerary.
Talk through your trip.
Ask about your date, age requirements, cold-water layers or the right raft for a group. Start with the Hudson Gorge day details , compare overnight options or contact the North Creek base .
