We are so excited to partner with Jim Pfiffer to offer more river trips and safety workshops for our community! Our educational river paddles are limited to 12 folks and will cost just $25 per person, kayak rental included. Learn about our river and local history as you enjoy a guided trip down the beautiful Chemung.
Safety paddles are free to the community, and we’ll have a limit of 18 folks per session, great for those who are new to paddling or just need more confidence on the water. You’ll learn kayak and paddle safety and stay close to the boat launch as you test out your paddling skills. Free life jackets are available thanks to a generous donation from Hesselson’s.

Remember, being safe on the water is easy if you follow some common sense rules: make sure your watercraft is properly equipped, including having navigation lights if you’re going out late in the day; know what to do if you have an emergency on the water, and make sure you’ve shared your float plan with friends and family; make sure your watercraft has your ID written on it; watch out for other folks enjoying the water; and wear your life jacket.
