This immersive four-hour excursion offers a comprehensive "canyoneering" experience that transforms the rugged terrain of Catskill Park into a natural obstacle course. Throughout the journey, you will engage in a variety of high-energy maneuvers, including rappelling directly through the spray of thundering waterfalls, navigating polished stone chutes on exhilarating natural rock slides, and wading through the pristine, crystal-clear pools of a deep river canyon. To ensure you can focus entirely on the adventure, we provide all the necessary professional-grade gear, including a technical climbing harness, rappel device and safety helmet. It is a fast-paced, multi-sensory trek that combines technical rope work with the raw beauty of Upstate New York’s river systems, making it an ideal choice for those looking to hike, climb, and swim all in one outing.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Catskills Canyoning experience?

A: Yes, participants usually need to be at least 12 years old to join the Catskills Canyoning experience. However, it's best to check with Stay Rad Climbing Guides directly as they may have specific age and weight restrictions. Kids under 18 will also need a parent or guardian to sign a waiver. It’s great for families looking for an active day outdoors!

Q: What's the best time of year to do this canyoning experience in the Catskills?

A: The best time for canyoning in the Catskills is usually late spring to early fall (May to September). This way, the waterfalls are flowing nicely, and the weather is warm enough to enjoy the pools. Fall can be beautiful too, but the water might be colder. Just check the weather beforehand, especially if you’re doing it in late season.

Q: What should I wear for canyoning? Do they provide gear?

A: They provide all the technical gear like harnesses, helmets, and rappel devices, so you just need to wear comfortable clothes that can get wet. Think quick-dry shorts and a tight-fitting top, plus water shoes or old sneakers. Also, bring a change of clothes and a towel for after, since you’ll definitely get soaked!

Gift Ideas for an Adventure Lover - Catskill Canyoning?

I’m thinking about getting my boyfriend a Catskills Canyoning experience for his birthday. He loves hiking and swimming but has never done anything like this before. Does anyone have any thoughts on if it’s beginner-friendly? I want him to enjoy it and not feel overwhelmed!
