Lehigh River - White Haven
501 Main St, White Haven, PA, 18661

Event Type

The upper section of the Lehigh river spans 9 miles and features rapids ranging from Class II to Class III, depending on water levels.

We’re not “racing” or just casually floating downriver. Our focus will be on skills practice—catching eddies, ferrying across currents, attaining upstream, and, of course, playing around with surfing, squirting, rolling practice, and more.

Expect to spend about 4-5 hours on the water.

As always, paddlers should “dress for the swim.” While the water is warming up, it’s still likely in the mid-50°F. Recommended gear includes either a drysuit or a semidry top paired with a 3mm neoprene Farmer John/Jane wetsuit, and/or a full-sleeve neoprene jacket.

Paddlers should be comfortable with self-rescue techniques, but a roll is not required.

Be sure to bring plenty of water, snacks, and a dry bag for any essential items you need to keep dry. We’ll take at least one 25-30 minute snack/lunch break, with additional breaks as needed.
