WELCOME

Welcome to your Adirondack Canoe & Kayak Outfitter since 1983

Raquette River Outfitters, a full service canoe and kayak outfitter designed to help you better enjoy a paddling vacation in the heart of the Adirondack Lake Region. We invite you to come explore the Adirondack Park by canoe or kayak in the largest state park east of the Mississippi River, with an abundance of ponds, lakes, mountains and rivers. Spend a day or week canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding or camping while exploring the area, listening to the wind in the giant pines, fish jumping and the call of the loons.
