1.Anyone interested in a meet at Mettowee Off road extreme park in late June? There is an entry fee of $25 for truck and driver and $5 for each passenger. I'm going to make shure we're not there on an event day so we have the course mostly to our selves. If we get enough participants we may be our own event.

I might be interested in this if my schedule aligns. Are you thinking the last weekend in June?

 

Address. .

 

the address is
607 County Route 12
Whitehall, New York

June 30th sounds good

 

Any major events June 30th?

 

Ive talked to the owners, that day is a normal day.

 

I'll try to make it

 

for the whole weekend, or just one day?

 

I'm not sure if they have camping this year.

 

I think I’m in.

I’ve never been there before. What are the trails like? Most of the Facebook pics make it look like it’s only a mud put

 

There are a lot of backwoods trails that range from easy to fairly difficult. There is even a swimming area on the Mettowee river. Unfortunately the most popular day is mud fest, so all the facebook pages are of that craziness. I'm planning on doing a scouting trip june 16th. There is also an offroad obstacle course complete with a draw bridge.

 

Take some pics please and thank ya

 

Can do, I really want to make a good map with landmarks

 

Added to calendar

My truck is not off road worthy but it'll be nice to be part of the group and see everyone's trucks.

 

Diggin’ your profile name. There have been some sasquatch sitings in my neck of the woods, but not nearly as much as the Whitehall, NY area.

Edit: and compared to the PNW, well there is no comparison. It’s fascinating stuff!

 

If any of you are into WW kayaking, the Mettawee River by Granville is the real thing. You absolutely need to know what you’re doing and be comfortable with steep creeking. An acquaintance who was an expert kayaker got pinned in a vertical drop a few years back and didn’t make it out. If you do check it out, be careful.

I’ve paddled the Mettawee a bunch, great drop-pool run...was your acquaintance the young lady from 10 yrs ago or so? I was there the next day, my group was spooked. We spent the day doing swift-water training at the last drops.

 

Yes. I didn’t know her well, but my old paddling buddy was with her group and was one of the people who tried unsuccessfully to rescue her. I’m told that she had gotten vertically pinned in a drop, and the force of the water pushed her upper body against the deck of her boat and she could not be extracted.

 

Its going to be a One day event this year. Meet and greet In the parking lot 9:30am to 10:00am to get everyone registered, sign waivers for the park, ect. Ill probably give a quick safety briefing, then start the tour from easy to hard. Required gear: 1 tow strap without metal hooks, Tow points front and back, Spare tire or patch kit and tools to do so, first aid kit . Recommended gear: CB radio, High lift jack, winch, shovel, lunch*, toilet paper*.
