AW in the NorthEast
American Whitewater has been working for river enthusiasts in the Northeast for decades, with our results being flow and access to many rivers that were for years dry and/or inaccessible.

AW Calls Foul on Ausable Chasm
posted March 14, 2007
by Kevin Colburn
Today, American Whitewater sent a compaint to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regarding the ridiculous delays in providing public access to New York's Ausable Chasm. Letters from paddlers may help move along this woefully delayed project, and get us on the water this summer.
