Big paddles, big smiles… and a big surprise! 😎
This summer, Gigi Hadid’s brand chose The Catskills, including our little shop in Kingston, NY for a photo shoot —featuring our canoes and that classic Hudson Valley backdrop we love so much. 💛
We even spotted herself sharing one of our signature canoes on social media (pinch us! 🤯).
What an incredible season — thank you all for making it one to remember! 🛶❤️

A huge thanks to our partners for helping share the story and spread the local love — we’re so grateful for this amazing community. 💙🤙

Please be safe!

We are in our fall hours of operation. Closed during the week (with potential to open later in the day on weekdays depending on available staffing), open weekends from 9am - 6pm. We’re monitoring the situation closely, working with local and regional partners in documenting & addressing the issue.

It appears the HAB is actively stagnant (not improving). We will be closed on days where there are significant HAB sightings. Please call to learn more, and again… PLEASE BE SAFE! We look forward to getting you out there when the HAB goes away 🤙
