Whitewater rafting
About
Whitewater Challengers runs guided rafting trips on the Lehigh River in the Poconos, with its rafting center on North Stagecoach Road. It also runs trips in upstate New York.
Premier Whitewater is the most popular trip, with Class 2 to 3 rapids for ages 8 and up. It runs on dam release weekends and other select dates. The easy trip has Class 1 to 2 rapids for ages 4 and up and 2.5 to 3 hours on the river. There is also a marathon trip for ages 12 and up on a few Sundays, plus inflatable kayaking, camping and bunkhouse rentals.
When to go
The company offers rafting through spring, summer and fall. The Premier trip runs on dam release weekends and select dates, so check the schedule on its Lehigh River page before you plan.
Good to know
Trip times include a bus ride to and from the river and a safety talk, so plan on a long day for Premier trips.
Onsite camping is offered only to guests who also book rafting or inflatable kayaking.
