North Creek This Week, Thru Aug. 22, 2021

North Creek This Week!

It’s August and it’s vacation time! There’s plenty to do – rain or shine – and at last report no one has melted due to hiking, boating, rafting, rail biking or more in the rain! Weather apps are everywhere so it’s quite easy to keep track of and avoid the heaviest rain. The best radar is on Weather Underground – see a link on our Weather Page. And as has been the tune this Summer – rain is a GOOD thing for rafting raising the water levels in the Upper Hudson! And rafting in the rain – well, you’re going to get wet anyway – get out there! Raft trips are run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Short trips from North River to North Creek are also run these days at 2-2:30 with tubing, kayaks, and family rafting. Contact an Outfitter – for information and reservations – Directory Here.
New – Story Walk Event at the TOJ Library – Sat. Aug 21, 2-4PM Info Here.

So It’s Raining!

RevRail and Gore Mt both are “rain or shine” activities so bring along a rain jacket or an umbrella! This is just for regular rain, more dangerous thunder and lightening will delay or postpone rail biking trips and Gore’s skyrides.
