The Paddle will be approximately 6 miles.
Meet at Mountainman Outdoor Supply Company,
Rt. 28 • Old Forge, New York.
Come join us for a leisurely paddle down the beautiful Moose River on Saturday, September 26, and raise funds for the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research fund! The Moose River is a slow moving flat-water river that winds through the beautiful Adirondack mountains. There is one short carry with an easy trail around a rock garden. It is a great trip whether your a first time paddler, or have years of experience.

About the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund
The Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund, Inc., supports both new and established researchers investigating the causes, prevention and treatment of breast cancer. This research will include—but not be limited to—studies of the genetic, molecular, cellular and environmental factors involved in the development and progression of breast cancer; application of the knowledge thus gained to educate medical professionals and increase public awareness for the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer; and studies of the outcomes of breast cancer detection and treatment on the patient, their families and society.
Moose River Trips
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the rental price?
- Boat, Paddles, PFD’s (life jacket), and shuttle up river. Mountainman starts every season with new (and the most comfortable) canoes and kayaks to help insure a pleasant river trip. We will be donating 20% of all boat rentals for the event to the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund.
What should I wear?
- Plan on getting wet. Shirts and shorts that dry quickly are best. Sneakers or sandals for footwear.
- Sunglasses and hats are recommended.
What should I bring?
- Pack snacks and drinks, perhaps a picnic lunch; there are numerous sandbars to relax and swim.
- Sunscreen and bug repellent is also suggested.
- To keep small children occupied perhaps a small toy that floats and a small inexpensive dip net and a small plastic collection jar to view water life.
- Cameras are always a good idea, but should be stored in waterproof containers. (Drybags & dryboxes are available at Mountainman Outdoor Supply Company.)
Will I see wildlife?
- Residents of the river include beaver, river otters, numerous ducks, an occasional mink, and the rare and very elusive moose.
Do I need experience? Are there rapids?
- The Moose River is a slow moving flat water river that winds through the beautiful Adirondack mountains. There is one short carry with an easy trail around a rock garden. It is a great trip whether your a first time paddler, or have years of experience. At put-in, we will provide a short demonstration on the basics on paddling to help make your trip more enjoyable.
