Event Type

The Lehigh Mega should happen and we should have camping and trips all 3 days. Fast flushy rapids with big wavers and lots of on the fly surf in waves, wavy holes and even pretty scary looking holes. Bring your fast boat and your roll for extra fun.

If it’s over 3000 good roll is mandatory, which will only happen on Friday.
It’s almost always a day or 2 around 2500 on Saturday or Sunday.

For those that haven’t done the Lehigh at bigger water, rolling is really nice as swims are long. There are lots of big, avoidable holes and good on-the-fly surfing (best for longer boats as boat speed matters). Almost nothing is retentive (well, don’t ask us about Triple Drop) and water is relatively warm (still likely heavier wetsuit 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.

We often paddle from White Haven all the way to the Glen and often split into fast and play groups.

We’re camping at Hickory Run Group campsites and have a site reserved.
Porta Potties and no showers on site but otherwise comfortable, large sites (with showers and nice bathrooms a long walk or short drive away at the ‘real’ campground).

Food will be pot luck unless someone volunteers to coordinate. Contact us to volunteer or learn more.

Plan on bringing some stuff to contribute and helping.

Adult beverages are technically prohibited so plan on being discreet (like drinking from a mug).

Reservations will be opened up in September when we have a better guess at release levels as well as if we’re doing group food or bring your own. Join our mailing list to learn when bookings are available.
