| This is demofest weekend. Come up and try out new equipment with Steve on the scenic Class II Fifebrook section of the Deerfield river. You will need to bring your own paddle, helmet, PFD, and skirt to demo a boat. Zoar will also have new and used boats and equipment for sale at the demofest site. After completing the Fifebrook trip, the more adventurous paddlers may opt to try a run through the famous Zoar Gap Rapid, a classic class III drop located immediately below the Fifebrook takeout. Zoar gap is considered a rite of passage for many northeastern boaters. Come on up and enjoy this beautiful river with Steve |

| With steep, technical, and continuous rapids, the Upper Yough provides all the excitement one could ask for in a dam release, east coast run. It is highly recommended that you have a solid roll to consider the trip, as swims can be long and consequential.

| Popular class III - IV river, that begins with several class III rapids before finishing with three strong class IV rapids (Dunbar, Dragon's Tooth, and Labyrinth). This is a good first step into more advanced whitewater, but requires a dependable roll to avoid potentially serious injury incured during a swim. |
