Another fan favorite that almost always happens. Levels as high as 4ooo cfs on Friday means big fun waves near the height of fall foliage with relatively warm water.
For those that haven’t done the Lehigh at bigger water, rolling is really nice as swims are long but below 3k not mandatory. 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….most likely late August.
We’re camping at Hickory Run Group campsites and have a site reserved. If anyone wants to volunteer to coordinate shared food please contact us. Adult beverages are technically prohibited but we’ve never seen a ranger at these sites. 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.
