Take an aquatic thrill ride on the most popular whitewater river in the eastern United States. Join with dozens of fellow rafters as you splash your way through exciting and challenging rapids made of giant boulders and surging waters. Each raft trip begins with a dry-land indoctrination into the sport of whitewater rafting by experienced professional paddlers. As the group descends the river, each set of rapids is discussed in detail before making the plunge. Your caravan of rafts will be escorted by a team of kayakers who will guide you through each rapid as you bob your way downstream.

The entire trip is several miles long and takes usually 4-5 hours to paddle, including stops for a riverside lunch and swimming. Due to the growing popularity of this water sport, raft launches are regulated by the state park, so you must have a reservation with one of the outfitters in Ohiopyle. See the More Information Section at the back of the book to contact them.
