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! |
