Abraham Gadway (License #4898)
Abraham is a United States Air Force Veteran, better known to friends and family as Abe, grew up in the beautiful small Adirondack Town of Indian Lake.
Abe’s love for nature and the outdoors began before learning to walk. As he grew older his love became his life’s passion. The rush and excitement of catching a native brook trout, tracking that Adirondack buck, and running big water on the Hudson River made him realize he was made to take advantage of what the outdoors had to offer. When Abe isn't in the woods, he can be found spending time with his son Callan and dog Cain, working on their small piece of heaven in the Adirondacks.
Today, Abe wants to share his excitement, experience and love for the outdoors and invites you to join him by booking your trip with Adirondack Mountain Outfitters.
Abe is a NYS Licensed Guide in the following categories; Whitewater Rafting (Indian/Hudson/Schroon), Hiking, Camping, Boats/Canoes, Fishing and Hiking.
Abe can also be booked to be your whitewater rafting guide through North Creek Rafting Company or Adirondac Rafting Company.

Growing up in the North Country, Zach grew up playing in the Adirondack Park in the Ha-De-Ron-Dah wilderness. Once of age, Zach left home for service in the United States Navy. Upon returning home, Zach rekindled his love for the outdoors and quickly acquired a guides license in all areas, to be able to "play outside" for a living.

DAniel D. (License #6301)
Daniel is a United States Air Force Veteran and a native to the foothills of the Adirondacks and enjoys all methods of hunting, especially still hunting and tracking big woods bucks in the mountains.
Come spring time, you’ll find him calling in gobbling Toms for family, friends, and those trying to land their first bird. Daniel enjoys chasing Striped Bass in Albany during the spring run, trolling for Walleye and Lake Trout in the summer, and ice fishing in the winter. He’s also expanded his hunting endeavors west to Montana for solo mule deer trips and as far away as the Saharan desert for Sand Grouse.
He has a passion for teaching that spills over from his career as a Firefighter for New York State and the New York Air National Guard and enjoys nothing more than passing on what he knows to those who will continue to keep the wilderness wild.
We are Adirondack locals, born and raised. Hunting, fishing, hiking and boating is in our blood. We're proud to share this rugged, beautiful country with our guests. You'll come as clients and you'll leave as friends.
