Rafting the Moose River is intense. Experience is a must as there are some critical moves that require precise maneuvering of the raft. There's no time to learn how to paddle on the Moose, the trip starts off with 3 long difficult rapids, Iron Bridge, Tannery and Rooster Tail. Then it's on to the big drops, Froth Hole, Mixmaster, and Elevator Shaft. Trip ends just before Fowlerville Falls.

Previous rafting experience is requested on this challenging run. Paddlers will be required to make critical moves in quick succession. We reserve the right to move trips to the Hudson or Boreas if river levels are too high, too low, or if participants don't have adequate experience.

Check out this Moose River rafting video with Burning Spear recorded live at the Grassroots Festival in Trumansburg, NY July 24, 2010.

Please visit Burning Spear's website for concert info and merchandise. The new album Jah Is Real is great !

$120 per person
$100 per person for groups of 12+

Wetsuits, all equipment and a full healthy lunch on the river included. No hidden costs.
