Looking to go for a river tour?
Our Most Popular River Trip is 2-3 hours in Canoes, Kayaks, Rafts or SUP Board. We transport you from our location up river and you take -out at the Path of Life Sculpture Garden
How about a lazy Day on the River?
Our comfortable river tubes have back rests and cupholders, pack a cooler and float it in one of our cooler tubes. Our cooler tubes are not open on the bottom, great for taking along the smaller kids! Each tube has straps so you can hook up to each other as a flotilla. Trip can take up to 5 hours

What We Do
Your trip with GRO starts here at our facility. From our location we brief you, outfit you and then shuttle you in our vans 10 minutes upstream (around 5 miles) to Sumner Falls in Hartland, VT. Once you arrive at the put-in location, the trip is in your hands! With the ease of the calm Connecticut River, you’ll then make your way downstream until you reach our take-out at the bottom of the Path of Life Sculpture Garden.*
