Dam Release Whitewater
Experience the best whitewater rafting in the Tri-State area.
Dam Release Whitewater Rafting in the Lehigh Gorge State Park
You’ll be surrounded by state park protected mountains while enjoying 12 miles and 4-5 hours of Class II, III whitewater rafting and breathtaking scenery. Whitewater rafting adventures with us are fun, thrilling, and memorable. In fact, it’s an adventure that everyone from ages 8 and up can enjoy – no experience necessary! Not only will you paddle through 17 sets of rapids, but you’ll also laugh, get wet and have an amazing day outdoors. There is nothing like a whitewater dam release rafting trip on the Lehigh River in Jim Thorpe, PA!
Have children that don’t meet the age criteria? You could also check out our Family Style Whitewater. Great for families with young children ages 4 and up.
Don’t forget, in addition to rafting, you can also go Rail Trail Biking or play Skirmish Paintball! Call 570-325-8430 or Click for more information on biking and paintball in the Poconos.
