Hi fellow paddlers, ‘‘tis the season to get out on our beautiful little river! We officially will open May 30th for the season. We are all set up to follow the mandates set to keep everyone safe during this crazy time we have been faced with. Please help us get you out on the water safely by booking online so we lessen the opportunity of social contact. We feel at Backwoods Adventures more than ever you need this amazing experience we offer to get away, forget about the stresses and find the beauty that we have to offer you!  So let’s go! Breathe the fresh air, paddle and enjoy what nature has given us! We look forward to seeing you and sharing this beautiful little river we all so love! See you soon! Cheers, Stef, Chris, Ari, Cale & Dakota
