The Trading Post is one of the only outfitters to have our own, exlusive demo pond. Formerly New Milford's "Upper Reservoir," the pond was decommissioned as a drinking water source several years ago. The Trading Post now serves as stewards of the land to ensure that it remains protected from development and is always an accessible open space amenity for the town.

For our customers, it's also a great location to try out a variety of boats. There's no substitute for actually paddling a variety of different boat styles to make sure that you invest in the right boat for YOU. We make sure that you have plenty of time to get acquainted with our boats, and to make a smart decision.
