    FAQs

    Yes. Have everyone in your party sign the online waiver forms before you arrive at the Rafting Center.

    Arrive at the listed check-in time. It’s when your group should be at the Rafting Center, not when the shuttle departs or when you get on the river.

    Plan to get wet. Wear a T-shirt and shorts on warm days; add a windbreaker if it’s cooler. Avoid cotton (like hoodies, sweatpants, or jeans). Bring a small plastic ziplock bag to keep your mask dry for the shuttle at the end of the day.

    Review summary

    4.6
    Excellent
    947 reviews•Google Maps

    Reviewers consistently praise the professional, friendly staff who make safety a priority while keeping things fun and lighthearted. Guides like Sid, Jennifer, Kurt, and John get multiple shout-outs for their expertise and welcoming personalities. The company handles everything smoothly from registration through equipment rental, and instructors clearly know their stuff when it comes to teaching proper techniques. The campground gets high marks for cleanliness and amenities, including a snack bar, gift shop, and showers for afterward. The Lehigh River trips typically run around 4 hours on the water with a mix of Class II and III rapids plus calmer stretches perfect for beginners and experienced rafters alike. Expect to get wet, so skip the cotton and consider their wetsuit rentals. Dam release weekends create more exciting conditions. Groups of all sizes and ages seem to have great experiences, from families to seniors. A few logistical notes: there's a midway lunch break where you'll want to bring your own food (stored in provided buckets), and the exit process can involve some waiting. One visitor felt a guide was rude, though this seems to be an outlier among otherwise glowing feedback about staff friendliness.
