Our Zoar Gap Full-Day trip is the longest commercial white water rafting trip in Massachusetts. The trip begins at Fife Brook Dam in Florida, Massachusetts and spans 10 miles of water adventure, concluding at our private take-out in Charlemont. Rapids such as Freight Train and Pinball allow crews to hone their skills in preparation for the exciting class III whitewater of Zoar Gap. Along the way we stop for a delicious riverside picnic-style lunch with sandwiches and cookies. After lunch, there are opportunities to swim or simply relax as we raft back to our base-camp where hot showers and a slide show of the day’s adventure await.
Our Half Day Gap trip begins just below the Fife Brook Dam, and runs the next five miles of the Deerfield River. With plenty of places to swim, splash, and play games, we make our way through Class I and II rapids. The trip concludes with the Zoar Gap, an exhilarating Class III rapid, before returning to our base in Charlemont, MA. Awesome on its own, this trip can be paired with a morning Zipline tour to fill out the day. Whether you come for both the ziplines and the river or just the river itself, the Half Day Gap trip features a picnic-style lunch on base before we hit the water.
Please be on time, since we must work within the schedule of water releases decided on by the power company. Your confirmation email will provide the exact meeting time of your trip. You will be required to read and sign a release of liability at this time.
All guests will be required to wear a Zoar Outdoor issued PFD (Personal Flotation Device) and helmet. You will also be provided with a paddle. Trips take place on the Fife Brook section of the Deerfield River in Northwestern Massachusetts. Both full and half-day trips include class II & III whitewater.
