Description

Perry Ehler's Rapids is about .75 miles from the Put-In and .5 miles below Mouse and Mouse Tail Rapids. It is Class III at high water levels and is likely the most challenging feature on this portion of the Hudson. The channel is river left, but those wishing to skip the rapid can line the boat and boulder-hop/wade on river right at lower water levels or carry down Rt 28 a tenth of a mile.
