Event Type

Enjoy a weekend of boating in the Adirondacks before the water is gone! There are several Class II/III options in the Chestertown/Johnsburg NY area. This is just south of the Hudson Gorge Wilderness area. These include: Sacandaga W. Branch (8 miles long), Hudson: Riparius to The Glen (7.5 miles long), Schroon River (~5 miles long), to name a few. All rivers mentioned are fed by natural flow, selection will be dependent upon water level.

We can plan a later start on Saturday for anyone making the drive Saturday morning.

Participants need to be able to read and run Class II+, have a dry suit (or thick neoprene with dry top) and appropriate layers, as the water is still extremely cold.

Currently, planning on primitive camping, Friday & Saturday, off of one of the many sites on Route 8 just southwest of Baker’s Mills. GPS pin will be sent to registered participants.
**If there is interest, there are two state parks with more amenities, but more rules, close by. Camping in the state park would be $25 per person, and only two vehicles and two tents per site. Please indicate interest in the state park option in the notes.**

Restaurants, convenience stores and gas stations are about 20 minutes from the area we would primitive camp. Please consider this in your planning.
