10 Gear Rentals in New York That You Shouldn't Miss

December 6, 2021 Marissa Gamble

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Raquette River Outfitters

Reviewed By mgevans-5

The folks at Raquette River Outfitters are outstanding. Sam and Ann are just very helpful and communicate very well. I've worked with a few outfitters over the years and you can tell the care these folks take in making sure their customers are taken care of. We had a great three night canoe from Long Lake to Raquette River to Tupper Lake. Of course the weather was beautiful in the fall and the leaves were just beginning to change.

Reviewed By kweiler1223 - Reading, United States

This place is in the middle of a campground (so it's kind of hard to find), but totally worth renting your kayaks from. Great rental place, and the staff was super nice and accommodating. They also have paddle boards, the ones where you stand up on the board and row standing. I wanted to try one so I got out on the water, but then decided I would rather be in a kayak for an hour, than standing precariously. The guy working switched me to a kayak with no problem. The water goes from a small pond into the river, but is just isolated enough to be comfortable while going for a nice kayak ride.
