It all started with the river...and the idea behind Riverwalking was several years in the making. Helene, the founder of Adirondack Riverwalking, asked her partner, Bob, to take her fly fishing several years ago. She enjoyed every aspect of the experience - that is, until she caught a fish. Although the trout was released, the potential stress and harm caused to the fish took away from her enjoyment of fly fishing.

After watching Bob return from fly fishing, relaxed and mellow time and time again, she took to the river in waders, not to pursue the catch, but simply to enjoy the flow of the water against her, the sound of the river around her and the beauty of nature. Her desire to share this joyful experience with others led to the creation of Adirondack Riverwalking and to Riverwalking as a guided mindful nature experience. Today, Bob joins her in co-leading trips. ​
