Whitewater River Rafting
Raft with a Friend

If you've paddled with us already you already know it - this whitewater rafting thing is the best! We run our Lehigh River rafting trips through Lehigh Gorge State Park, one of the gems of the Pennsylvania State Park system. If you're 10 and older - give the thrills of a real whitewater raft trip a try! Do you like getting your heart rate up a little bit? Enjoy a little adrenaline in your life? Choose the Lower Lehigh Gorge or Upper Lehigh Gorge trips!

Still a little apprehensive? How about a quick dash of adrenaline followed by a delightful river rafting trip? We call this section "A Touch of Class 2 " and this is the ticket to get your feet wet in whitewater rafting. Your river trip - 10 miles long and 4 hours in duration - starts one mile from our Rafting Center, at Glen Onoko. This beautiful spot is a very cool place to start your day.

Your fun-loving, experienced river guides will give you and your group a River Briefing. This is where you’ll be shown how to handle your raft, and the right way to paddle through the rapids of the Lehigh River. Your trip leader and guides spend the whole day with you – showing you how to have fun here in the Lehigh Gorge. Your guides escort your group of rafts down the river. The Point Guide leads the way, the Sweep Guide brings up the rear, and up to two Roamer Guides scoot around in the middle of the group. Each Jim Thorpe River Adventure guide will do their best to show you a good time!

Your trip includes a raft, paddles, personal flotation device, waterproof lunch containers, and more fun than you can stand. After your trip, take advantage of our hot showers, heated indoor changing rooms, shady picnic grounds, and on weekends - our free cookout - great for a little fill-up before your ride home!

We start our Lehigh River Gorge rafting trips in late March and April, and rafting continues every single weekend through October! Whitewater Dam Release weekends add a little extra pizzazz every other week starting Memorial Day Weekend! Contact us for details!
