One of the more notable whitewater paddling adventures in New York is the Moose River Bottom. Very popular, and for good reason, it features several cascade falls, slides, rapids, and some flat water areas. Some noteworthy sections are Fowlersville Falls, Double Drop, Agers Falls, and Crystal. The center of Fowlersville Falls can be quite dangerous and many take the far left route - but be sure to scout it out. A little further downstream is Knife's Edge where most stay to the right and avoid the center pothole that has proved fatal in years past - again, be sure to scout it out. Shortly after, there is a required portage around a dam. Extreme caution should be used when attempting this course and only experienced paddlers should consider it. Be sure to study the route in more detail before attempting in order to be familiar with all hazards. Difficulty rating can fluctuate depending on water levels.
