This is the second year I've gone rafting with this group and I love it. First of all, I love how…read morethey are so organized and how they emphasize safety AND fun. This activity is good for families and friends. If you're going with children, make sure that you have enough adults to paddle with you for a more exciting and safer experience. Second of all, I have never experienced surfing on a raft until I went with this group! The 4-5 hour drive from the city is totally worth it. It is such a cool experience to surf the raft in the surf holes. Our guide, Mark, is so experienced that we were able to surf almost all the surf holes and enjoy the rush of water as we were surfing. The experience was a good mix of adrenaline rush and relaxation. There were parts where we just freely swam in the water, there was a part where we jumped off an 8-foot rock, there was also a part where you can ride the front of the boat as if you were riding a mechanical bull. This is going to be an annual trip and I look forward to the next year! I forgot to mention - their porta potty's are the cleanest porta potties I have ever seen in my life. They have hand sanitizers and all the supplies you need.

Would like to notate the customer service I received here. Amazing. I didn't rent or purchase…read moreanything but had some questions regarding the paths to take with Moose River. Nothing but helpful. I do know they offer services other than renting. They will drop you and your kayak off down the road as well as to pick you up. You can also use your own kayak and pay for this service. Recommending the business because they can create value and a great ADK experience for you.

Great family owned business run by the nicest people. I've rented kayaks & paddle boards from here…read moreon multiple occasions and I've had the best experience every time. The first time we rented paddle boards to go on Moose River (the ramp to get into the water is right in back of the store). I wouldn't recommended paddle boarding on Moose River though. The water isn't the cleanest, and if you fall in it would be a nightmare lol. $8 and hour to paddleboard on the river, $20 something if you rent a kayak. The second time we rented the paddle boards for the day and went to Nicks Lake (which is a 5 minute drive from Tickners). they drop your paddle boards/ kayaks off at Nicks beach, you just have to sign some quick paperwork and grab life jackets + paddles. It's a $10 admission to get into Nicks Lake but it's pretty much a private beach area with picnic tables, camping, a jungle gym, clean bathrooms, beach area and a life guard. The actual lake was gorgeous. We paddle boarded for 4 ish hours and made it around the entire lake! And the water is clean enough to swim in (it's $28 for the entire day to go on Nicks Lake). I can't wait to come back!

Fun songs, dad jokes told better, and I love to her say "Keep paddlin." Lori "Loves to SURF" . This is the best time in the Hudson. We spent several minutes in "Fluffy Box" and she even got the raft turned around!!! We also made it into Bus Stop and got in some good surf there as well. But wait - there's more! We went down Jiffy Pop Backwards!!!!! Bestest Ginger snaps and other super healthy lunch options too, washed down with yummy hibiscus pink tea. So - if you want the small company vibe that cares about you as a participant and partner, Square Eddy is the way to go.

Whereas some of the other local company have giant, full-size buses pushing through volume onto the river, this operation was intimate and friendly. In the short amount of time we spent with the owners, we got to know them and their friends very well. Linc was our guide and he was full of knowledge and information. He was also a tremendous guide as far as rafting is concerned. The lunch we all shared was homemade and delicious. The cookies we had were incredible. The fresh fruit was a nice touch too. In total there were 4 rafts and approximately 20 people. We didn't need to wait around for anyone and the entire operation felt smooth and well-planned. We had a phenomenal time and highly recommend this activity.

Asked if any booking for the day, they said we were the first, and they gave us the option to pick the time and the boat. Our renting should have been started at 12:45 pm. We arrived at 12:30, and they told us that the boat was no anymore available because another group came before us and they were boarding our selected boat. I asked for the other one then... and they told us they didn't have the keys, and we should have wait until 1:30 pm... probably more. Or take a fish boat which I didn't want. In the end, I walked away, and my wife and I got to change plans, and of course, the day was already ruined. I hope they will refund me the money. Please, stay away if you don't want to have your day ruined, or if you still want a boat, then get them to sign a piece of paper that they will not give away your booking for someone less polite than you. (I saw the group who took or boat negotiating with them from the window of my bedroom at the lake house minutes before we got downstairs, BTW.) I hope this review helps as much as possible. Planning a weekend these days is not simple, and having people that ruin it with such superficiality, it's a shame.
