Tug Hill Outfitters

We offer a variety of guided & self-guided kayak and canoe trips in the Central New York region between the months of May and October. As experienced paddlers, we also offer introductory kayak, surf ski, and racing/fitness paddling lessons. We are also experienced navigators and adventure racers, and offer hands-on map and compass navigation clinics and orienteering challenges. In the winter, we have over 3 miles of privately owned, groomed XC ski and snowshoe trails for you to explore. Tug Hill Outfitters is a part-time, family owned business. We hope to share our enthusiasm for the hobbies we love and our passion for the beautiful lands and waterways of CNY, with all of you!
