Please join me for the first official Leigh release of 2026..
The Lehigh River offers a fun and approachable Class II–III whitewater experience, with a steady mix of moving current, splashy wave trains, and a few more technical sections to keep paddlers engaged. It’s a great river for building skills and confidence, with forgiving lines, plenty of recovery pools, and lots of opportunities to catch eddies and play along the way. At typical release levels, the rapids are lively but manageable, making it ideal for novice/intermediate paddlers or confident beginners looking to step up, all set against a scenic backdrop of forested hills and railroad-lined riverbanks.
