Rafting Adventures Moonlight Rafting
Dam Release Whitewater Rafting in the Lehigh Gorge State Park
Our Moonlight Rafting Adventures provide a nighttime outdoor experience like no other. Take off at sundown to explore the river under a midsummer moon. Travel down 8 miles of the Lehigh River in Jim Thorpe, PA. A friendly guide will both accompany you in your raft to help you navigate through the moonlit rapids and keep you on course. Fireflies and glow sticks on your raft provide helpful light for your voyage, as well as the moon and stars!
Finally, when you return from your expedition, get cozy by the bonfire, roast some marshmallows, and enjoy a glass or two of wine. Uniquely, it’s the perfect combination of romance and adventure.
Moonlight Rafting is a Pocono Whitewater exclusive whitewater rafting trip. Come explore the night in a whole new way!
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.
