The Wild Center

To sample the paddling life without all the packing and planning, try a guided canoe trip through the Raquette River’s oxbow. The mile-long trips—which run once a day, every Saturday and Sunday through mid-October—are open to explorers of all abilities, ages four and up. Groups are led by Wild Center naturalists, who help families scout marshy habitats and catch glimpses of critters. Paddles, boats and life jackets are supplied; reservations are required.
