We are late to the party...so not many spots left, but they do have 12 on 9/10!! Grab yours now! 

This beautiful rafting trip through mild whitewater (Class I & II with one Class III) is the perfect outing for S.E.E. Mates Ski & Travel Club. Rafting time is approximately 2.5 hours with a hearty barbeque meal included after rafting. Meals are served dry and warm at the riverside base camp.

Our Fife Brook trip starts out with a bang at “Hurricane Rapid” followed by bouncy rapids such as “Sideways Splash”, “Freight Train” and “Pinball”. Calm sections between rapids allow your River Guide to fill you in on local history and to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the Berkshires. Part way through the trip our self-bailing rafts approach the day’s biggest rapid, “Zoar Gap”. The river suddenly narrows and drops for the fastest and most fun rapid of the day.

After safely navigating “Zoar Gap”, raft teams will enjoy optional team water fights and more rapids such as “Slam Dance”. When our journey down the river ends, we return to Crab Apple for a hearty meal overlooking the Deerfield River and an entertaining look at photos from your adventure.

Raft Capacity/Private Raft: Our rafts hold 6-7 paddlers (6 is ideal). Groups of 6, 7, or 8 will always have a private raft. Groups with fewer than 6 may be joined by other parties.
