Take a peek in the barn on the property and you’ll find examples of the antique boats themselves, including traditional Adirondack guide boats built in the 1880s and wood and canvas canoes. They also carry the essentials for those restoring these antique gems, as well as repair and restoration tools and kits for more modern boats.

Each Father’s Day, they host a special River Clean Up event, providing boat rentals and garbage bags for those interested in helping clean up the local waterways. This year’s event is on Sunday, June 18, 2023. This year, there’s also a guided trip on the Raquette River being held the previous weekend, Saturday June 10. The 12-mile, 6-8 hour trip will be guided by Anne Fleck of Raquette River Outfitters and Chris Morris and Brandon Devito of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. The trip is free, but those looking to rent a boat to participate should contact Raquette River Outfitters for information first at (518) 359-3228. Other events take place throughout the season as well.
If you want to disconnect from your busy life and reconnect with nature, make sure to stop by Raquette River Outfitters this summer. They’ll help you choose the right route and gear, prepare your trip, build confidence in your paddling skills, connect with a passion for the outdoors, and explore the Adirondacks’ beautiful waterways. All you have to do is show up and give it a try!
