State Police Lt. Stephen Jones says the body was found Tuesday afternoon in Frenchtown, more than 35 miles downriver from where Gary West Jr. went missing.
Jones says the man was pronounced dead Tuesday and that an autopsy has been scheduled for Thursday.
He has not been positively identified, but Jones says he matches a description of West, including his clothing.
West, 38, of Summit, went missing after his raft overturned Saturday. His 14-year-old daughter, who was in the vessel, was found that afternoon with minor injuries.
