A river route, not a rigid timetable.

From Lake Harris to the Gorge, the overnight options follow the water. Use this route overview to start a conversation with the guides.

Follow the published route options.

  1. Newcomb Lake Harris start for a suitable 26-mile itinerary.

This is a route overview, not a navigation map or a live river-level report. Guides choose the final itinerary.

Two-day possibilities

The main 17-mile Indian River-to-North River routes divide the rafting across two days, with camp in the Gorge or at the Boreas River confluence. An alternate 16-mile North Creek-to-Thurman route camps in the Lower Hudson Gorge.
