We're affiliated with Veterans One-stop Center. What does that mean? 👇

Veterans One-stop Center is a nonprofit organization that supports Veterans and their families throughout Western New York, serving 13 counties across the region.

That means revenue from our outdoor adventures helps support local Veterans through programs like su***de prevention, housing assistance, and peer support. And we know that getting outside and building connections can make all the difference.

When you book an experience with us, you're not just making memories outdoors - you're helping support local Veterans and their families right here in your community.

Rafting season isn’t over just yet, and there’s still time to get out on the water!

Our Late Season Dice Roll trips are here. If the Gorge is runnable, we’ll take on the Gorge. If not, we’ll hit the lower section for a great ride either way.

For more than 40 years, Jim Redline has been the heart behind Zoar Valley Canoe and Rafting Company. He built something special for this community, and his passion and dedication have shaped what this place means to so many. As he steps into retirement, we thank him for everything he has given to the valley and the people who love it!

As part of this next chapter, we are proud to expand our services and continue as Zoar Valley Expedition Company, now affiliated with Veterans One-stop Center. We are open for the season and ready to welcome you back on the water. We remain committed to the same experience you know, while also supporting Veterans across Western New York through programs that help provide stability, connection, and purpose after service.
