    We had a fantastic time out on the Raquette River this July! The scenery was just breathtaking. We were completely new to canoe camping, and had a party of 2 adults and 7 teenage boys! Anne and her staff were extremely helpful and made sure we had everything we needed to have a great time. Anne was really patient in answering all our questions and helping us plan a suitable trip. It was an unforgettable experience for us all.

    Can’t say enough about RRO. I have been shopping with them for years . I buy a Helle knife every year I visit . This year I did a lot of extra paddling and both owners were so helpful to make sure I could complete the goals I set for this trip . Extremely knowledgeable, personable and encouraging. Thanks RRO for helping this old girl get the triad and the Long lake Tupper lake trip done. . See you next year save me a Helle

    The staff here were all so kind and helpful! Chuck gave us a great route to explore the Simond Pond/Raquette Lake area. Anne not only made some accommodations for us, but also gave fantastic recommendations for other activities around. Safety was a priority with this place. We will definitely be back again and again!
