Picture yourself and your friends paddling furiously through continuous, tumultuous rapids. No holds barred, shooting straight from the hip, the Hudson is an unparalleled wilderness river adventure - a true whitewater "10"!


Hudson River Whitewater Rafting

Our most exciting wilderness trip, the Hudson River Gorge runs through the "forever wild" Adirondack State Park. No macadam roads here...just the magnificent Adirondack Mountains and premier whitewater rafting. This region is so beautiful, even the nearby New York Thruway is known as one of America's most scenic highways. Launching from the Inn at Gore Mountain, this excursion offers magnificent scenery and virtual isolation from the civilized world. The majestic Adirondack Mountains rise from the riverbanks, commanding an audience with all who enter the jagged domain. The most adventurous rafting enthusiast will be put to the test as the fierce Class IV+ whitewater rapids vie for control of your raft.

Hudson River Details

I went on your Hudson trip on Saturday with two 14 year old boys.  Glen was the guide and he was wonderful!  He touched the lives of those boys in ways that he will never know and made a lifetime memory for them.  It was the best. Thanks – G. Peterson”

Imagine leaning back, watching the campfire dance and letting the soft sounds of the river cleanse the soul. Your guides have set up your tent, prepared a great meal, and just declared the coffee finished. The lies being traded around the campfire are interrupted by the call of a Great Horned Owl, and it just doesn't get any better than this. 

Join us for two great days of whitewater and one heck of a relaxing evening. Take a side hike, catch a couple of trout for breakfast, or finish that novel you have been working on. An overnight trip on the Hudson Gorge is an experience that will not be forgotten.

Just wanted to let you know of the great job our guides, Krystal & Tom, did this past weekend.  The six of us had a great time rafting and camping on the Hudson.  The guides never stopped working to make the experience one we’ll never forget, and have already discussed repeating.  I will recommend this trip to everyone.  Thanks!”  Paul Balynsky, NJ

DIRECTIONS - HUDSON RIVER CENTER - NORTH CREEK, NY

Our raft base is in the Inn on Gore, where owners Sue and Rich Mannuci provide great lodging deals and wonderful aprés-raft dinners.  Here's how to get there:

From the South:  If you're coming from below Albany

·          get to the New York State Thruway I-87

·          head north to ALBANY exit 24

·          Get off the Thruway (there's a toll booth at this exit) 

·          get onto the Northway I-87(Yep, it's the same Interstate designation, but it's different)

·          Take exit 23 Warrensburg

·          At the end of the ramp, take a left and then go right at the traffic light.  This will put you on Route 9 heading north.  You'll know you are heading in the right direction if you pass a McDonalds on your right immediately after turning onto Route 9. 

·          Drive through Warrensburg and about 2 miles north of town take a left onto Route 28. 

·          You’ll travel approximately 16 miles then take a left turn onto Peaceful Valley Road. You'll know the turn is coming up in about a mile when you pass Casey's North Log Cabin Tavern. 

·          You will drive down Peaceful Valley Road and pass the turn for Gore Mountain Ski Center.  1/3 of a mile past this, turn right into the driveway for the Inn on Gore!

From the North: 

·          Take the Northway I-87 to exit 25 Chestertown

·          Head west on Route 9

·          Follow for roughly 15 miles and you will come to a stop light (the only stop light you’ll see) at the intersection of Rt’s 8 and 28 in Wevertown

·          Turn right at the light in Wevertown

·          Take Route 28 about 5 miles to Peaceful Valley Road (a left hand turn)

·          Go about 1 mile on Peaceful Valley Road, the Inn on Gore will be on the right
