Our raft guides are some of the most experienced on the river. No one knows the Hudson better, and no one will give you a better ride.

Self-bailing rafts: they are the only way to go and our fleet is fully self bailing.

We're open seven days a week pretty much all year long, so if you give us a call between 8AM & 6PM you get to talk to a real person! We will give you all the details: what to bring, what to expect, what we provide, etc.  You can also stop by the shop if you're in the area and see a real person.  That person will know the gorge because they've been on it.  Chances are good you will talk to a rafting guide who runs it regularly!

We're close. Just 3 1/2 - 5 hours from the NYC area and Boston, 3 hours from Syracuse, and 1+ hours from Albany.

Our rafting base at the Inn on Gore provides the best pre or post trip atmosphere on the Hudson.  And Sue makes a fantastic après-raft dinner!

WHITEWATER RAFTING THE HUDSON RIVER GORGE

Rated as one of the top 10 whitewater rafting trips in the U.S., the Hudson River Gorge is the pinnacle of Eastern Whitewater. Seventeen miles of great class III-IV+ whitewater combined with spectacular scenery, will provide you and your group with memories that will last a lifetime. This is a full day trip that takes you through the heart of the six million acre Adirondack Park, via rapids such as the Gooley Steps, Blue Ledges, The Narrows, Givney's Rifts, and the Bus Stop, just to name a few.  Take a swim in Dunk Flats, leap off Elephant Rock, or engage in ship-to-ship warfare (a.k.a. splash-fights). Hop back in your raft for a quick run through Entry Rapid's Jiffy Pop Drop just before your riverside lunch; then prepare for miles of foamy fun as you run the Narrows, Osprey, Mile-Long and more.  After your trip, enjoy a great hot dinner at our raft base while you reminisce about the days adventures.

Includes: Self bailing raft, wetsuit, booties, helmet, PFD, lunch, hot dinner, transportation and NYS licensed guide.

April-June (every day). From June 17th to Columbus Day weekend, we run every Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.  We also run on Labor Day and Columbus Day Mondays.

Why only these days?
Our trip begins on the Indian River, just below the Lake Abanakee Dam.  We utilize water released from this dam to make our way to the Hudson Gorge.  Without this dam release, we could not get to the Hudson gorge.  These are the only days when water is released.

WHEN SHOULD WE GO?

If it’s BIG WATER that you are after, the first three weeks in April usually provide it. This is when snowmelt and spring rains combine to make the Hudson a big water heaven. So if it’s huge standing waves, monster holes, and nearly continuous class IV-V white water you’re after, this is the time to go. A word of caution, with big water comes cold water and variable weather. This time of year isn’t for the faint of heart. Call For age restrictions.

2-DAY OVERNIGHT RAFT & CAMP TRIPS

Imagine leaning back, watching the campfire dance and letting the soft sounds of the river cleanse the soul. Your guides have set up your tent, prepared a great meal, and just declared the coffee finished. The lies being traded around the campfire are interrupted by the call of a Great Horned Owl, and it just doesn't get any better than this. Join us for two great days of whitewater and one heck of a relaxing evening. Take a side hike, catch a couple of trout for breakfast, or finish that novel you have been working on. An overnight trip on the Hudson Gorge is an experience that will not be forgotten.
