2008 Fun Fact

2008 Fun Fact: If you laid end to end all the miles that each of our guests has rafted over the past 33 years, it would stretch to the moon and back - 35 times!

"My Adventure Profile" Quiz ...

Don't forget to take your Adventure Profile Quiz ... a simple set of questions that will help to tell you which of our many trips and tours is just right for you.

Thank you ...

2007 was our best year in over two decades!  A big "Thank You" to all of our visitors & friends who shared a day, a weekend or a week with us in 2007.  We're already getting ready for 2008, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Lehigh Dam Release Plan Updated ...

The Lehigh River dam release plan has been tweaked again for 2008, making it more predictable and reliable than ever.  Water releases on alternating weekends, May through September are expected to attract over 100,000 visitors to the Lehigh Gorge State Park this year!

NY Rivers Set to Offer High-Adventure Outings ...

Our rafting centers in New York offer trips on the Hudosn, Black, Moose and Salmon Rivers.  These are great outings, ranging from easy Class II whitewater to the kind of hang-on-to-your-hats Class V action you often see on TV.  Ask our reservationists to recommend an adventure just right for you and your group! 

New for 2008 in Old Forge! 

Hawkinsville Moose River Trip - features miles of roller coaster waves, starting right at the launching site near Hawkinsville, NY.

What's next ...

After a great day on the river, we're often asked "what's the next step?" 

We enjoy answering this question, because there are so many great choices...

     * a highwater Spring trip on the Lehigh (Class III)
     * a summertime Hudson River Gorge trip (Class III+)
     * a summertime Black River Canyon trip (Class III/IV)
     * a springtime Hudson Gorge trip (Class IV)
     * a springtime Black River trip (Class IV+)
     * a springtime Moose River trip (Clas IV/V)

Or, for more Class II/III alternatives, a summertime visit to ...

     * the middle Moose River, Old Forge, NY

     * the Hawkinsville Moose River, Old Forge, NY
     * the Salmon River, Pulaski, NY

We look forward to hearing from you, and helping you and your friends pick the perfect "next trip."

Hope to see you on the river this year!

Yours in adventure,

All the crew at
