River Description

Lat / Longitude data are very approximate.

Zachary Frederick shared:

Start near the Darlington Inn, below Idlewild Park. Portage the causeway near Sleepy Hollow Tavern. Takeout before Kingston Dam. If you don't waste any time, this run should take about 1.5 hours.

There are 2 ledges/wateralls not long after you put-in (Buttermilk Falls?). Various other small rapids throughout. Not too much flatwater.
