Adam, from the Northeast Paddlers' Massage Board:
"There are two major drops on Neversink. Denton Falls is a slide run straight down the middle with no holes at the bottom. High Falls is small vertical drop of 8+ feet(??), easily run far river right. After High Falls is about 3 - 3.5, maybe 4, miles of flat to class 2 rapids.

"In between Denton and High Falls is the Gorge section, which is class 3-4 depending on levels. Over 7.5, I would say it is a 4. Lots of holes, waves and sticky spots. At bottom of the gorge, there are some waves to surf at 6 - 7 feet, above that they become pretty sticky. The river is not a great play river, with only ahandful of waves on the 6-8 miles. However, it is beautiful and absolutly desolate. Have seen bald eagles every time I've been down. The put-in is at Holiday Mtn. Ski area (public fishing access). The take-out is off of Rte. 209 at the D&H Canal museum in Huguenot NY, about 10 miles from Port Jervis."
