The Beaver River originates from Stillwater Reservoir in the western section of the Adirondack Park northeast of the village of Lowville. The area is undeveloped and camping is available throughout the area. The Moshier section is the jewel of the river - a 4-mile run that includes two runnable waterfalls, a number of easy class 3 rapids, and concludes with a long, technical class 5 rapid composed of four discernible drops. The section is appropriate for experts or strong intermediates with judicious scouting and/or portaging. (American Whitewater)
