This is our most popular and exciting trip, featuring endless rapids and spectacular scenery. You’ll laugh, scream and get a little wet on the Lehigh River.  This trip is great for 1st time rafters in good physical condition.  The group will meet near Penn Station for the ride to the Poconos. The dam release guarantees that the water will be flowing at its best!  This is a class 2-3 rapid (out of 6).

 

How it works:

  • You will meet the group at 7:00am near Penn Station
  • Once at the river you will check in, get your gear, have a quick orientation session then head down the river. (approx. 4 hours)
  • Along the way you will stop to eat lunch.
  • You should be back in NYC around 7pm.

What to bring:

  • Bathing suit, sunblock, towel, change of clothes, water socks or shoes you don’t mind getting soaked. Footwear is required.
  • Lunch, water.
