The Expedition

Rafting Adventures The Expedition Kayak

Explore the Lehigh Gorge State Park in an inflatable kayak!

On The Expedition inflatable kayak trip, you’ll take control, challenge yourself and get a great workout. Explore 12 miles of the Lehigh River when it is not open to whitewater rafters! You will independently navigate and explore the Lehigh Gorge State Park via an inflatable or sit a top kayak. You will catch eddies and ride waves while discovering the history of the Lehigh River in Jim Thorpe. Our river guides will be with you the entire time providing basic instruction on how to maneuver, surf and navigate the river as well as help you get back in your kayak if and when you swim.

The Expedition is a Pocono Whitewater Exclusive Trip. In addition to this, our other Pocono Whitewater Exclusive trips include the Big Day Out and Moonlight Rafting.

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
