WEATHER FORECAST:

RIVER FORECAST:

800 CFS – Dam Release Weekend – Great Ride!

Note:  

Souvenir photos of you and your crew shooting the rapids are available after each trip.  For information, inquire at the rafting center store.

Box lunches for the river trip are available at $5.75, if ordered in advance and prepaid.  Lunches ordered on the morning of the trip cost $6.75 each.  Large day-of-trip orders are sometimes difficult to fill, so advance orders are strongly recommended.  You are also welcome to bring your own lunch, if you prefer, but glass bottles/containers and alcoholic beverages are not permitted.  Also avoid bringing large ice chests, as there is insufficient room in the raft for these.

If you intend to rent waterproof paddling jackets or wet suits on the morning of your trip (recommended this weekend), you may want to arrive at the rafting center 15 to 30 minutes earlier than your scheduled check-in time.    Up to six wet suits may be rented on a single driver's license.

A hint from the outfitter:  "Avoid wearing anything made of cotton, especially sweat shirts or sweat pants."  Cotton will make you chillier when it gets wet.   Synthetic, polypro or wool blend materials work best under a wet suit or paddling jacket.  But again, swimwear is more the order of the day this weekend.

REGARDING RAIN:  Generally, all the rafting trips go rain or shine.  The exception would be dangerous conditions -- such as lightning or flooding.  (Flooding is rarely a concern, since the Lehigh is a dam controlled river.)  If you want to confirm that your river trip is running as scheduled, please contact the outfitter directly at:  800-443-8554.
