Since 1975, Whitewater Challengers has hosted more than 1.6 million guests on river trips with an impeccable safety record. With bases of operation from the Black River in the Thousand Islands, the Hudson River in the Adirondacks as well as the Poconos in Pennsylvania, this outfitting company has guided on more than 16 million miles of guided whitewater tours.

The Black River guides insist the Black River Canyon near Watertown is a rare whitewater gem and an unusual warm-water Mecca with waterfalls cascading over the limestone walls of the canyon. A high-energy river snack and a barbecue dinner are included with the trip. Whitewater Challengers guests can also enjoy camping alongside the rafting center with river shuttles going directly from the camping area to the rafting launch site.
