Adventure Outfitters

With a 4,000 square-foot warehouse, a 40-boat showroom and two semi-trailers to store inventory, 28-year old Adventure Outfitters is unmatched in western New England as a source for canoes, kayaks and accessories. Paddlers can choose from 650 boats in stock at any given time and from 10 canoe and kayak lines, and can benefit from in-store lessons and even take a kayak out for a spin on Puffer's Pond, thanks to the outlet's free demo policy. Spring is whitewater season with dam releases on the Deerfield River, and boaters looking for calmer waters can enjoy recreational kayaking on the Connecticut or even find sea kayaks to take out on the ocean.
