The Hudson River Gorge is a 17 mile trip through the beautiful Adirondack wilderness. The rapids range from class IV-V in April and May to class III from June through October. We limit our trips to five rafts for a more pleasant atmosphere. It is our belief that smaller groups are more appropriate for you to experience the natural wonder of our wilderness river. Please call for rates and reservations.
