RAFTING ZOAR GAP

Top 3 Reasons to Go:
  1. A great day on the scenic Deerfield River for families and groups.
  2. Our friendly professional guides make your day memorable
  3. Only 2 hours from Boston and 3 1/2 hours from New York City.

Deerfield River, MA

Take your family, office, church, or scout group rafting on the Deerfield River's most popular rafting section, Zoar Gap. With a minimum age of 7, these Class II and III whitewater rapids are ideal for beginner and intermediate rafters.

Our ten-mile white water rafting trip on Zoar Gap begins at Fife Brook Dam. Rapids such as Microwave, Freight Train, and Pinball allow crews to hone their skills in preparation for the raging whitewater of Zoar Gap. Below the Gap, we pull over in a state forest for a delicious picnic-style lunch with salads, homemade breads and cookies. After lunch there are opportunities to swim or simply relax as we raft back to our basecamp where hot showers and a slide show of the day's adventure await.

“I just wanted to thank you and the whole team there for all of your help this weekend.  It was great!  The lodge was fantastic and Philip was really helpful and friendly.  The trip on Saturday was a lot of fun - our guide was Bill (with the blonde ponytail), who was totally outstanding.  His desire to have fun with us, yet also be very serious and safety, made the day really memorable.  I've been on several rafting trips at other places, and Bill is by far the best guide I ever had.”
