KAYAKING AND CANOEING ON THE DEERFIELD RIVER - Zoar Gap River Run

Top 3 Reasons to Go
  1. New England's only guaranteed summer whitewater only 2 hours from Boston and 3 1/2 hours from New York
  2. Our friendly professional instructors are ACA certified and love passing on their passion for the sport. Our ratio of 1 instructor to 4 students assures lots of personal attention.
  3. Our full service adventure resort offers onsite camping and lodging

A river run on the Zoar Gap section of the Deerfield River is the perfect follow-up after taking one of our Novice or Class II kayaking or canoeing clinics.

We spend the day enjoying the river, while gaining experience kayaking or canoeing on New England's best class II summer whitewater run.

WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO PREPARE

Goal of the clinic:

To provide opportunities for class II to class III paddlers to run the Zoar Gap section of the Deerfield River under the guidance of an able instructor.

Who should take the clinic:

Kayakers or canoeists who are comfortable in Class II and want a chance to gain experience or paddle a new river under the expert leadership of qualified instructors. Our minimum age for these clinics is 14.

What will be covered:

The instructor will lead a warm up session before setting out down the river, and will set up a river order. While the day is set up to be experiential, not instructional, students may ask for help on specific skills while paddling the river.

“Just wanted to take the time to tell you what a “gem” you have in one of your kayak instructors.  I took a 2 day “custom” clinic this past Thursday and Friday and really enjoyed myself.  Jim Sullivan was my instructor and he really did a great job. It was more like kayaking with a really talented friend. He was very patient, but encouraged me to challenge myself.  He was very concerned about my safety and really helped out when I flipped over (three times). “
