WHITEWATER DAM RELEASE DAY
May 23, 2019
Experience the best whitewater rafting in the Tri-State area.
Come whitewater raft the Lehigh River when the water levels are at their highest. Water released from the Francis E. Walter Dam raises water levels and brings whitewater rafting to a whole new level. You’ll find yourself navigating Class II & Class III rapids through the beautiful, scenic Lehigh Gorge.
Never rafted before? No problem! All of our whitewater raft trips are guided from beginning to end. Safe for children ages 8 and up. This is a fun, thrilling, and memorable whitewater rafting adventure for the whole family!
