Anne and Rob are just fantastic people. Kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making each trip as great as possible. I have used their services 6 times now and each time, their advice on the right trip for our group was spot-on. This year, my brother, sister, and I took on a bigger trip; the Oswegatchie Traverse, with an extra 2 mile carry to Lowe's Lake since the Lower Dam is under rehabilitation. Anne and Rob made sure we had every piece of gear dialed in before even letting us head out to the put in (a carry trail in this case). Swift Keewaydin pack boats and the right dry bags for our gear got us as light as we could be for the carries while still having confidence in their durability on the water. Anne and Rob feel like old friends any time I interact with them, whether on the phone, at their shop, or at the put in/take out. At some point, I will be buying a boat, and there is no question that RRO will be the place it happens. Editing to add about additional trips with RRO. My group repeated the Oswegatchie Traverse in 2024. I had yet another super-smooth experience with arrival, check-in, and travel to the put-in for the trip. RRO even entrusted me with a brand new Swift Prospector Pack Boat; I got to put the first scratches in it! The day after this fabulous trip, I realized I forgot to take the blue jay feather I found on the initial carry and used as a talisman for the trip. I had left it in the boat. I called Anne and she looked, but it was gone. What speaks to the true character of RRO is that when I showed up a month later for a trip into the St Regis Canoe area, she presented me with a blue jay feather she had that held personal meaning for her. My point is that while there are other likely excellent outfitters in the Adirondacks, I firmly believe that there are NO better people than Anne, Robby, and their crew.

Just finished a four day canoe trip along the Fulton chain. Ann and Robbie made our trip great by providing tons of useful information and really outstanding equipment. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much!

Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

Raquette River Outfitters was great! Ann accommodated our schedule and chuck was a great help! Would recommend!

So happy i found you guys! I am a novice, wanted to take a solo few days canoe trip in late fall. Felt very well equipped by Raquette River Outfitters, great canoe, two styles of paddles provided and most comfortable PFD I ever rented ;) Raquette River Outfitters cared foremost about my safety, adjusted my route due to weather conditions, gave true estimate on timing, camp site availability, fishing, water conditions and basic safety. Accommodated my late return and made sure I am safe and sound for the road back to NYC. Great guys, passionate and knowledgeable about what they do which shines in their service. Great place and location and still the closest to NYC where you can experience wilderness almost tailored to your level of expectations. Highly recommend and looking forward for a future trip with Raquette River Outfitters.
