Whitewater Kayaking Near Lake George NY
Inflatable Kayaking on the Sacandaga River
Taking it to the next level, the inflatable kayaks mimic whitewater kayaking without the need to know how to eskimo roll if you flip (yes some do, you can just crawl back on). Available in both solo (by yourself) or tandem (two people front and back). This activity is for the adventure minded who are athletic, well coordinated, and prepared for the possibility of a flip and white water swim. Kayaking is a guide assisted hybrid not completely guide controlled as in rafting. You are accompanied by one of our guides in their own kayak. Previous kayak experience required. Minimum age is 16 years and maximum weight is 250 pounds. Kayaking is offered on specific days and trip times please check our calendar for availability.
