-- About the river --
Bardwell's Ferry to Stillwater -- 4 miles of Pristine river
Just you, the river and your friends on 4 miles of lazy river in a gorge
- 4 mild rapids, several deep holes, a fisherman or two, no release time, no noise, not a lot of people, no houses, no rules, no fees, some cliffs and some rope swings and maybe a bald eagle or two.
There are no life guards - safety on the river is your responsibility.
Water levels are dependent on rain - there are some areas that are shallow that you might have to walk through. At other times the river levels are at flood levels.
Who we are and what we do --
We provide a solution to the tube and the two car shuffle problem.
Deerfield River Portage is an outfitter - We sell tubes, provide a tube for your cooler and transport your party to the put in point. We transport from Stillwater Bridge in Deerfield (the take out point) to Bardwell's Ferry in Conway (the put in point).
Our customers - couples, families, birthdays, a date, bachelor/bachelorette groups, reunions, friends, clubs etc.
We are family, LGBT and canine friendly.
Canoe? Kayak? We can provide a driver/guide.
Please remember you are responsible for yourself and all your belongings while on the river. Wool stays warm when you are wet. Rivers can be dangerous places, there are rocks, unseen hazards in the water and there are no life guards. Safe river practices recommended by the Massachusetts Environmental Police include knowing how to swim, wearing of River shoes (not flip flops) and doning life vests.
