The Moose River is a mountain stream that
originates on the Western edge of Adirondack State Park in NewYork State.
It isn’t the largest of New York rivers, but it’s very fast
and strong. The Moose is also very scenic, flowing through beautiful
and bucolic Herkimer and Lewis Counties before achieving its confluence
with the Black River at Lyons Falls.
Because of the Moose River’s high gradient as it plummets down
from the Adirondack mountains, The Moose is an unsurpased whitewater
river and a favorite vacation destination for kayakers and canoeists.
Every year come October, throngs of whitewater paddlers from all over
the US and Canada enjoy themselves on the Moose. The Bottom Moose run
is a particular favorite among the more experienced paddlers who want
to take the challenge of shootiong Class-V whitewater. The Bottom Moose
has a number of waterfalls, ranging in difficulty from relatively easy
to definitely dangerous. |
