Brave the roaring rapids of the cool, clear Lehigh River on an adrenaline pumping river rafting trip from Pocono Whitewater in Jim Thorpe. You don’t need to be a professional paddler to enjoy a day on the river. Pocono Whitewater offers rafting and kayak trips for all skill levels from family trips to the more challenging Dam-release excursions.

Trips include all necessary rafting equipment, life jackets, free parking, changing rooms and shuttle service. Most rafting excursions also include a free BBQ lunch. And if lunch is not provided, rafters may purchase subs, snacks and drinks from the Broken Paddle Bar and Grill.

Aside from the typical river excursion, Pocono Whitewater also offers unique, specialty trips like the kid-favorite Pocono Pirate Rafting, where paddlers load up their water guns and encounter nefarious river pirates along the journey. Or experience the river under the stars and finish with a riverside bonfire on the 8-mile Moonlight Rafting expedition.

It may also be important to note, when planning your river adventure, that Pocono Whitewater also partners with its sister companies, Pocono Biking and Skirmish Paintball to provide the ultimate Pocono Mountain experience often at a discount.
