Don’t let this summer pass by without a trip through the Lehigh River Gorge and a visit to the historic town of jim Thorpe!

Last weekend was great weather for whitewater rafting in the Lehigh Gorge State Park, and Dam release whitewater weekends start on May 9th! Be sure to book your trip early on dam releases as every year they are getting more popular! What better way to spend a hot summer day than whitewater rafting on the Lehigh River! The best pocono whitewater there is!
