Welcome to RiverFest 2023
A Black River Adventure
The Fun Stuff
Kayaks. Friends. Fun.
RiverFest is an annual fun & relaxing paddle down the Black River hosted by Adirondacks Tug Hill. Bring your people, or hit the water solo! Whether you’re a newcomer or you join us each year, don’t miss out on this year’s adventure!
This year’s route runs from Lyons Falls to Glenfield. Are you ready for the fun? Join us on Saturday, July 29 for a paddle down the Black River and mid-point food trucks & fun!
The Boring Stuff (Logistics & Details)
- Registration @ the Lyons Falls Boat Launch | 8AM – 11AM
- Each paddler must complete and sign a waiver prior to participating. These will be available at registration on Saturday morning!
- Mid-point Festivities @ Burdick’s Crossing | 11AM – 1PM
- Stay tuned for more info!
- Paddlers R Cool!
- We know that floaters are cool too, but we ask that RiverFest be a paddler-focused event. With this, we ask that those that have not reached the midpoint by 11:30AM depart there.
- Transportation
- With the help of our friends at Lewis County Public Transportation, we’ll have a shuttle available from 8AM – 10:30AM to drop your vehicle off at the end of the route and take you to your boat at the start. Please note that the shuttle will not be available if you are asked to depart the river at the mid-point.
