Black River Canyon

If you want something a little more fast-paced, spend a day whitewater rafting. The Black River Canyon, which begins in Watertown and ends in Brownville, is a rare whitewater gem, known for its challenging rapids. It's one of few whitewater streams with reliable flows throughout the summer.

"If you've never seen this section of the river, it's one of the most chill beautiful spots in the 315."
