This popular 4-day hiking and rafting combination takes us to the beautiful southern Berkshires. We stay at a rustic mountaintop lodge with striking views of the Chickley Valley. Meals include a home cooked banquet of fresh vegetables and fruits. Hikes include a 7-mile walk through the Dubuque State Forest on old logging roads to the unique Hawley Bog Botanical Area (a quaking bog!). We will also hike through the Mohawk State Forest, following the historic Mohawk Trail. We stop for a riverside picnic on the banks of the Deerfield River.

Our 10-mile raft trip takes us on the Deerfield River and through the Zoar Gap. This class II-III section of the river is perfect for folks new to rafting. Experienced rafters will also enjoy the scenic splendor of the Deerfield River Valley. Make your reservation early to ensure your spot on this long weekend that you won't forget!
