Our raft base is in the Inn on Gore, where owners Sue and Rich Mannuci provide great lodging deals and wonderful aprés-raft dinners.  Here’s how to get there:

From the South:

If you’re coming from below Albany, get to the New York State Thruway I-87 and head north to ALBANY exit 24.  Get off the Thruway (there’s a toll booth at this exit) and get onto the Northway I-87(Yep, it’s the same Interstate designation, but it’s different).  Take exit 23 Warrensburg.  At the end of the ramp, take a left and then go right at the traffic light.  This will put you on Route 9 heading north.  You’ll know you are heading in the right direction if you pass a McDonalds on your right immediately after turning onto Route 9.  Drive through Warrensburg and about 2 miles north of town take a left onto Route 28.  You will pass our store 11 miles or so down Route 28, proceed another 5 miles and take a left turn onto Peaceful Valley Road.  You’ll know the turn is coming up in about a mile when you pass two convenience stores on your right.  You will drive down Peaceful Valley Road and pass the turn for Gore Mountain Ski Center.  1/3 of a mile past this, turn right into the driveway for the Inn on Gore!

From the North:

If you’re north of exit 26, take the Northway (I-87) to exit 26.  Take a left at the end of the ramp and a right at the stop sign.  You will be on Route 9 heading south.  Stay on Route 9 through Pottersville (at a fork in the road you swing left to stay on Route 9; don’t head toward Minerva!) and all the way down to Loon Lake.  In Loon Lake, turn right onto Route 8 heading southwest.  You will cross the Hudson River in Riparius.  At the traffic light in Wevertown, turn right onto Route 28.  Drive about five miles, and take a left turn onto Peaceful Valley Road.  You’ll know the turn is coming up in about a mile when you pass two convenience stores on your right.  There is a left-hand turn lane, take that left turn!  You will drive down Peaceful Valley Road and pass the turn for Gore Mountain Ski Center.  1/3 of a mile past this, turn right into the driveway for the Inn on Gore!

From the East:

North of exit 26

Take the Northway (I-87) to exit 26.  Take a left at the end of the ramp and a right at the stop sign.  You will be on Route 9 heading south.  Stay on Route 9 through Pottersville (at a fork in the road you swing left to stay on Route 9; don’t head toward Minerva!) and all the way down to Loon Lake.  In Loon Lake, turn right onto Route 8 heading southwest.  You will cross the Hudson River in Riparius.  At the traffic light in Wevertown, turn right onto Route 28.  Drive about five miles, and take a left turn onto Peaceful Valley Road.  You’ll know the turn is coming up in about a mile when you pass two convenience stores on your right.  There is a left-hand turn lane, take that left turn!  You will drive down Peaceful Valley Road and pass the turn for Gore Mountain Ski Center.  1/3 of a mile past this, turn right into the driveway for the Inn on Gore!

South of exit 23

You will want to take exit 23 Warrensburg, left at the end of the ramp and right at the first light onto Route 9.  Follow Rt. 9 through town and about 2 miles farther, turn left onto Route 28.  Take Rt. 28 about 15 miles, turn left onto Peaceful Valley Road (there should be a sign for Gore Mtn at this turn).  Drive this road about a mile and you will pass the Gore Mountain Ski Resort Driveway.  1/3 of a mile past this, turn right into the Inn on Gore’s driveway, where our raft base is located! Oh yes, if you’re by exits 24 or 25, head to exit 26 and follow the North paragraph here!
