RAFTER RESOURCES & TIPS

WHERE TO MEET

Zoar Gap, Dryway, Millers and Float Raft trips leave from our basecamp at Zoar Outdoor at the west end of Charlemont, Massachusetts. We are approximately 2 1/2 hours from Boston and 3 1/2 hours from New York.  Check with our office for meeting places and times for Bulls Bridge, Concord and West River trips.

WHAT TO WEAR

On your rafting trip, wear shorts and/or a bathing suit on warmer summer and fall days, long wool or polypropolene pants or long underwear on cooler days. On warm days a t-shirt is great, but for cooler days bring a wool sweater, fleece or other synthetic pullover, and a windbreaker or raincoat. For your feet, a pair of old sneakers you don't mind getting wet or watershoes are great.  Flipflops or crocks (even if they have a heel strap) are not appropriate footwear.  We provide a farmer john wetsuit, neoprene booties and a sprayjacket at no extra charge before May 15th.  After May 15th, wetsuits, booties and sprayjackets are available for rent.

  You should check the Trip Details link for trip for the recommended attire for your specific trip.

“When encountering other groups on the river, it was very clear that Zoar’s guides are more knowledgeable, skilled, organized and safety conscious.  It confirmed for me that I had made the right decision when choosing Zoar.”
