Spacious and comfortable group campsite at Mohawk Trail State Forest.
3 day release on both Dryway (Class IV, a great time to step up) and Fife Brook (Class II ending in Class III Zoar gap, a great beginner river) + they’ll be time to take advantage of the festival offerings.
Campsite is about 5 miles from the Festival Site which is at Berkshire East Ski Area. Festival details at https://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Wiki/aw:events_deerfield.
FOOD: Erik Werner will organize group breakfast food both days but you’ll be asked to help. Bacon, sausage, eggs toast and coffee. Plenty of filling food to start your day.
Friday night those at the campsite will potluck and most folks will go to the festival Saturday night.
Not a KCCNY member? Our reasonable $5 guest fee will allow you to register at the member price.
Limited parking – which has been claimed. If you need to your vehicle on the site you’ll need to discuss with someone who’s already reserved and then both contact us to get it switched.
It’s a pleasant 100 yards or so to the parking lot and you can drive in and drop your stuff off.
Adult beverages technically prohibited at campsite*.
Paddling: Like most festivals, trips will be a bit more laid back, but have a Dryway trips (mostly coordinated by Jesse Keproski ) and Fife trips (Friday afternoon coordinated by Andrea Dover, Sat. and Sunday by Eric Werner).
If you’re thinking of paddling both rivers sign up for both.
Cell service in the area is spotty, so if you want to join us be to sure sign up as emails or group texts will be sent out each evening.
*Pro-tip: Insulated mugs keep beverages cold.
