The Schroon River has earned recognition as one of New York State's top fishing streams, and for good reason. Flowing nearly 68 miles through the heart of the Adirondacks, it's a destination where unforgettable days on the water begin with a quiet paddle and a cast into pristine trout habitat.

There's no better way to explore these remote fishing spots than from a lightweight Hornbeck Boat. Our Fishing Package is designed for anglers who want to access waters that larger boats simply can't reach, with the stability, portability, and comfort to make every trip more enjoyable.

Congratulations to everyone working to preserve and promote the Schroon River and the incredible natural resources that make the Adirondacks such a special place to paddle and fish.

Ready to discover your next favorite fishing hole? Check out the Hornbeck Boats Fishing Package and experience the difference.

It's black fly season here in the Adirondacks, which means the boats are coming out, the paddles are hitting the water, and the black flies are doing their best to join every adventure.

One product you'll often find in pockets, packs, and paddling kits around Hornbeck Boats is Bye-Bye BLACKFLY. Made right here in the Adirondacks, it's an all-natural, DEET-free repellent that's earned a loyal following among paddlers, hikers, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts for a simple reason: it works.

We've been hearing good things about it for years from customers and staff alike, and it's become one of those Adirondack staples that many people don't head into the woods without during black fly season.

What's your go-to strategy for surviving the black flies? Let us know in the comments!

Hornbeck paddler Ben LaBelle, a regular on the podium in the 90 Miler, is taking on the rest of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, solo. Ben is deaf. He appreciates a visual expression of cheering - jazz hands, if you will.

Today is Wear Your Life Jacket at Work Day!

It’s part of National Safe Boating Week, and we’re proudly joining the reminder, that safety on the water starts before you launch.

Whether you’re paddling remote ponds, exploring your favorite lake, or heading out for a quick evening cruise, wearing your life jacket is one of the simplest, and most important things you can do.

At Hornbeck Boats, we believe the best adventures are the ones you come home from safely.

Show us your “at work” life jacket photos in the comments!
