Each spring Adirondack snowmelt pours into the river by the gallon, making this the most thrilling time to take on the rapids. If you’re lucky enough to get him, a guide named Buzz Saw provides some comic relief on the trip. In his green monster helmet, he promises to get rafters soaked and make them scream. Bonus: organize a group of eight or more and earn a free trip!
