Overview
Experience the thrill of rushing through the raging Lower Yough river during this whitewater rafting trip!
- First whitewater rafting company on the east coast with over 40 years of experience
- 7.5 miles of class III-IV whitewater
- Enjoy a deli style riverside picnic lunch
- You captain your own boat! But don't worry, an expert guide is next to you in a kayak the whole time!
Get ready for an exciting day of whitewater rafting on this Lower Yough Rafting Trip!
After meeting your guides and receiving your life jacket and helmet, you'll be transported to the staging area where you'll begin your river trip.
Dividing into groups of 4 - 6 people, you'll climb into your rafts for a quick introduction to river running before hitting the water. River safety, paddle strokes, boat maneuvering and what to expect on the water will all be covered. From there you'll head to the river and the fun begins!
After a few moments of getting comfortable in your raft and listening to your captain's commands, you'll float into the first Class III rapid, Entrance. That sets the stage and gives you a feel for the rest of the day.
The Lower Yough is 7.5 miles of Class III - IV whitewater rapids. It is considered a drop and pool river: the rapids are separated by calm deep pools, allowing you to catch your breath and enjoy the scenery.
You will stop along halfway through the day for a deli style lunch - complete with cookies & Fruit! It is a thrilling whitewater experience & full of adventure!
For a little more excitement, the trips are run as "guide assisted" trips. You will captain your own raft, but the guides are always close by to lend a helping hand.
Before the large rapids, the entire group will be pulled to the side of the river or "eddy out" in river lingo. for a description of the rapid.
Guides in safety kayaks will go ahead of you and place themselves throughout the rapid. When given the signal, all rafts will follow the lead boat through the whitewater. It is an experience you'll remember for a lifetime!

What To Wear
Shoes you can get wet and they will stay on your feet. Everyone must wear shoes. Bathing suit, shorts, quick dry tank tops and t-shirts are all good options. If it's cold out: Wetsuits are available to rent for $10 or splash jackets for $5. Do not wear cotton. Sweatshirts, jeans, long sleeve T's are not a good idea. Wet cotton will make you colder instead of warmer. If you have any thermal long underwear or rain jackets/pants bring those. Sunscreen & sunglasses are always good to have.
For this experience, our partners are taking extra measures to help prevent any potential spread of COVID-19. These measures include screening protocols for staff and guests who enter. This may include a temperature reading and a health declaration. Our partners ask that everyone practice social distancing as much as possible during your adventure with them. Groups and families will be in their own private boats. Our partners also kindly request that everyone participating in an activity or trip use face coverings when in close proximity with others. These coverings may include a cotton face mask, a disposable face mask, a bandana, or a neck gaiter. When on a rafting adventure, our partners recommend wearing a Buff-style face mask. Our partners have installed hand sanitizer stations throughout their property, and will have it available where soap and water may not be. Additionally, guests will need to check-in using digital waivers before arrival. Our partners have reassured us that they will be limiting the number of people allowed in their indoor spaces (store, Pub, pavilion, etc.) to promote social distancing. They will be heavily cleaning high-contact areas as following CDC recommendations
