Specializes in Group Canoe Trips (http://mainstreamcanoe.com/): Our signature trip starts in Riverton next to the Route 20 Bridge, and is about a 12 mile paddle back to New Hartford. There are also shorter trips down the same section of river, from put-in points closer to the shop. These trips will take you through People’s State Forest, Pleasant Valley , ending at our on river location in New Hartford. This section of river includes some class I and II rapids, which are enough to make the trip exciting, but aren’t very powerful or dangerous (except during high water periods). This stretch of the Farmington is a federally designated Wild and Scenic River.
