Another fan favorite that almost always happens. Levels as high as 4000 cfs on Friday means big fun waves near the height of fall foliage with relatively warm water, but the 2500ish that almost always happens is arguably even more fun (and feel free to go to FaceBook if you want to argue).
For those that haven’t done the Lehigh at bigger water, rolling is nice as swims are long. There’s lots of big avoidable holes and good on the fly surfing (best for longer boats as boat speed matters). (Almost) nothing is retentive and water is relatively warm (still likely heavier wet-suit at a minimum…it is October) so it’s a chance to hit holes and waves you wouldn’t normally hit…or just float fast in a pretty place.
Registration will be opened up as we get closer and have a better guess on water (and food)…most likely late August.
We’re camping at Hickory Run Group campsites and have a site reserved for Friday and Saturday so could easily add Thursday or Sunday.
If anyone wants to volunteer to coordinate shared food please contact us. Adult beverages are technically prohibited.
Now with actual bathrooms and showers near the large comfortable, large sites – large enough that tents can be pitched back in the woods so those who prefer to paddle well rested can get far enough from those who think being tired adds to the challenge.
