WELCOME TO RIVERFEST!
A BLACK RIVER ADVENTURE FOR KAYAKERS AND CANOERS.

WHAT IS RIVERFEST?
RiverFest is an annual fun and relaxing paddle down the Black River – an event for families or individuals. Whether you’re a newcomer or someone who joins us each year – don’t miss out on this years camaraderie and adventure. This years route is on July 30th from Castorland to Carthage on the Black River – with a midpoint stop at the new boat launch in Deer River.

Participate in a trivia contest on their way with questions provided by Lewis County Soil & Water on large pool floats that are positioned along the river. There is food available at the mid-point and if needed a shuttle is available in the morning so paddlers have their vehicles waiting for them at the end.

RiverFest is a fundraising event held by the Lewis County Chamber of Commerce and is sponsored by local businesses.
