We had a great time participating in the BigTime Whitewater rafting excursion over the dam release weekend on September 5th and 6th. The team at JTRA handled all the logistical details seamlessly. Because our group was divided across both days—with my kids scheduled on separate days—I ended up going twice. Covering the 13-mile stretch over 5 to 6 hours on the water was certainly physically demanding and exhausting, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience both times.

The first day of the dam release (Sep5) featured a higher water flow, which made for a more thrilling ride since we didn't get stuck on rocks as frequently as we did on the second day (Sep6).

The kayak guides overall did a good job, though a few could have used a gentler approach. While elevated voices are understandable given the environment, some of the male guides (likely part-timers) came across as overly harsh and abrasive. Considering that many participants are first-time rafters and young children are on board, a bit more patience and encouragement would go a long way. On the other hand, the female guides were consistently great throughout the trip.

Very organized, nice equipment and all the things you forgot are really fair priced to buy or rent. Guides were excellent and fun.

My husband and I took the Easy Raft trip, which was fantastic! (We're both in our 70's)  Our guide and captain was Lynda, who was so friendly, helpful and a terrific captain!  It didn't hurt that the weather was perfect!  The entire team from Jim Thorpe River Adventures was so friendly and helpful!  What a great trip!

Amazing Experience! All the instructors were so good! Special mention to Scott! He is the soul of the ride! I don't think that there is something that he doesn't know! I have to mention of how much he cares about his group! Thank you Scott, you are a hell of a guy!

I had such a wonderful adventure 3 weeks ago with my son that i came back for some solo kayaking. My first day was a little shaky as the water level was very high, Linda our guide gave me tips to help me out. I was able to enjoy the rest of the day and get my skills back up a bit. I had such a great time I went back a second day. What an amazing day with two amazing guides Jerry D and Ezra. I highly recommend going with this professional outfit. Nice equipment and a super friendly counter staff. I wouldn't go anywhere else....
