Hole Brothers is a whitewater put-in access point located on the Black River in Watertown, Jefferson County, New York. This site serves as a launch point for paddlers looking to run whitewater sections of the Black River, which is known for its technical rapids and fast-moving current characteristic of northeastern whitewater rivers. The access point is situated in the City of Watertown, providing convenient entry to one of the region's notable whitewater paddling destinations.
Paddlers using this site should be prepared for whitewater conditions typical of the Black River. Given its classification as a whitewater put-in rather than a general recreational access point, this site is best suited for kayakers and canoeists with intermediate to advanced whitewater paddling experience. The fast-moving current and technical nature of the Black River require proper skills, equipment, and safety preparation before launching.
