Lt. Gov. promotes rafting challenge to mayors By Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com ALBANY — The Associated Press reported Feb. 13 that New York Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy challenged mayors at the New York Conference of Mayors in Albany this week to take part in the governor's upcoming Whitewater Challenge, which has yet to be scheduled. There has been talk locally that the races will
take place on the upper Hudson River in July. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the establishment of the Whitewater Challenge during his State of the State address in January but offered no details. He spent a couple days rafting down the Hudson River in September 2012 with guides at the Beaver Brook Outfitters, based in Wevertown. Duffy said the goal of the whitewater derby is to give attention to the recreational resources in the Adirondack Park in order to boost economic development, according to the AP. Duffy ex-
plained that there will be co-ed six-member crews in rubber rafts and all members of the teams must work for those government entities. Cuomo had initially promoted the event as a challenge among politicians and government workers. The governor ’s office still has not returned phone calls regarding this event. The Hamilton County town of Indian Lake is where local outfitters embark on their whitewater rafting trips down the Indian and Hudson Rivers, taking out at the Warren County hamlet of North River in the town of Johnsburg.
