Special Events Calendar for 2024

We are partnering with Trail Otter Outfitters for a day of amazing beauty within the gorge. The group will check in at the rafting office and then be bussed over to the East side of the park, where we'll take a moderate hike (closed toe shoes with good tread required) on a section of the FLT for a spectacular view of the Upper Falls, new railroad bridge, and hopefully, our first rainbow of the day. Following hiking back up to the bus there will be a boxed picnic lunch at the Middle Falls recreation area, and a view of the rainbow that is the namesake of the Glen Iris Inn. After lunch it's time to get ready for an exclusive raft trip through the gorge. Limited to 10 participants. Cost: $125 per person, including all group gear and lunch. Advanced reservations with a 50% deposit required.

Bring Mom out for a day of rafting at Letchworth State Park and if she's accompanied by at least two other family members paying the regular rate, she is our guest for the day. Just so she knows how special she is, after the trip is over, we will present her with a bouquet of flowers. (No other pricing discounts or special offers apply.)

We're bringing back one of our most popular events. Paddling through the gorge at night is an experience like no other. The full moon will provide ample light for us to safely navigate our rafts from Lee's Landing to Helena and there will be a guide in every raft to reassure you. We'll even stop along the way to toast some marshmallows and have a cup of cocoa! Space is limited to 25 participants. Cost: $65.00 per person. Advanced reservations with a deposit required.

Now it's Dad's turn to be treated to rafting. The same deal as Mother's Day applies. Since we weren't sure what his reaction to flowers would be, upon returning to the rafting office after the trip, Dad is given a special gift he's more likely to appreciate.

Following an exclusive late afternoon raft trip through the gorge we'll set up camp in the gorge and enjoy a specially prepared supper along the river at Lee's Landing. After that, it's time to relax around the campfire and wait for the moon to break over the gorge rim. Arise the next morning to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and a hearty breakfast. Space is limited to 20 participants. Cost: $85.00 per person, includes all group gear and meals. Advanced reservations with a deposit required.

Join us at Silver Lake State Park (4229 W. Lake Rd - Castile, NY) to sample some of the craft beers from our Wyoming County Tourism partners at “Silver Lake Brewing Project” while enjoying the serenity of canoeing on the Southernmost end of Silver Lake. Since motorized boats aren't allowed at this end of the lake it is not uncommon to hear and see numerous species of birds and animals while navigating through the marsh. Space is limited to 16 participants. Cost: $60.00 per person (must be at least 21). Advanced reservations with deposit required.

Join us once again at Silver Lake State Park (4229 W. Lake Rd - Castile, NY) as we take a leisurely paddle exploring the Southern end of Silver Lake while sampling some of the delicious Hard Cider varieties made by our good friends at “Three Falls Cider” in Castile, NY. What a great way to enjoy a lovely fall evening in Western NY. Space is limited to 16 participants. Cost: $60.00 per person (must be at least 21). Advanced reservations with deposit required.

Join us for a one-of-a-kind raft trip through the gorge as the fall colors start to emerge before our eyes! We've all seen the stunning photographs of the' Grand Canyon of the East' from the top of the gorge walls, but this is your opportunity to get some amazing shots from a new perspective. We will raft from Lee's Landing to St. Helena's, stopping to spend some time at the most scenic locations along the way to find the perfect shots. Whether you have a point and shoot or a top-of-the-line pro camera, all are welcome (you must provide your own water/shockproof case for your equipment). We will supply all the rafting gear, straps for securing equipment, and snacks. Space is limited to 8 people. Cost: $75.00 per person. Advanced reservations with a 50% deposit is required.

What a great opportunity for some fun family bonding time! You'll get a chance to spend a weekend at Letchworth State Park, run the river twice, camp in a tent, sit around the campfire, and eat a couple of delicious riverside meals. This is sure to be a memorable event so sign up early and don't miss out! Cost: $125.00 per person, includes all group gear, meals, and activities.
