Big Day Out

Multisport Trips Big Day Out

Three awesome adventures in one big day!

Ready for the ultimate multisport adventure? If you’re eager to raft, bike, and hike—all in one epic day—then our BIG DAY OUT is calling your name!

Your adventure begins at the Pocono Whitewater Adventure Center, where you’ll check in and have the chance to grab a freshly brewed coffee or a hearty breakfast sandwich at the Broken Paddle Bar & Grill. Once you’re fueled up, meet your expert guides and get the full rundown on the adventure ahead.

Biking

Your adventure begins with a 23-mile ride along the D&L Trail on a premium TREK bike. Pedal through Lehigh Gorge State Park with the roaring Lehigh River beside you and towering 1,000-foot cliffs overhead.

Refuel & Explore

Take a well-earned break at Glen Onoko Park in Jim Thorpe and enjoy a delicious trail lunch by the river. Then lace up your hiking boots and trek to a breathtaking panoramic vista for an unforgettable view.

Conquer the Rapids

The grand finale — whitewater rafting on the Lehigh River! Grab your paddle and take on thrilling rapids as you glide past remnants of 18th-century dams and locks, with expert guides leading the way.

After an action-packed day, kick back at Pocono Whitewater with a hot dinner, an ice-cold beer or soda (first one’s on us!), and a roaring bonfire to end your Big Day Out on a high note.

More Adventures Await

Your adventure doesn’t end on the river! Hit the Rail Trail for a scenic bike ride through the Lehigh Gorge or gear up for an all-out battle at Skirmish Paintball — the largest paintball facility in the world. Call 1-800-944-8392 or visit the links to plan your next thrill.

My husband and I went on a white water rafting trip down the lower gorge this summer! We had the time of our lives! I’m scared to go on roller coasters, yet I loved every bit of this trip. The guides were funny and enthusiastic! I just knew we had to come back again in the fall!

Suzie

We went for a bachelorette party (on dam release weekend!!) it was wonderful. Super fun, knowledgeable staff & management! Definitely going again. After the trip they had a camp fire w/smores & a bar! I’ve gone with other companies in the past but will absolutely go w/Pocono Whitewater again!

Ashley Dougherty

Staff so friendly and helpful! There were about 20 rafts and the staff were so organized and skillful. They made the trip fun! The staff really worked hard to accommodate everyone and keep everyone moving down the river. Highly recommend this for everyone!

Missy Smith
