Big Day Out
Bike, Hike & Raft the Lehigh Gorge In one day
Looking for the ultimate multisport adventure? If you crave rafting, biking, and hiking all in one action-packed day, then our BIG DAY OUT is made for you!
Your adventure kicks off at the Pocono Whitewater Adventure Center, where you’ll check in and have a chance to grab a fresh-brewed coffee or a hearty breakfast sandwich at the Broken Paddle Bar & Grill. After fueling up, meet your expert guides and get the lowdown on everything you need to know for the day ahead.
Now, it’s time to get ready for an adrenaline-packed adventure in the Lehigh Gorge State Park! Your journey starts on a TREK bike through 23 miles on the D&L Trail. With the Lehigh River rushing beside you and towering 1,000-foot cliffs overhead, you’ll conquer every twist and turn of this scenic route.
Once you roll into Glen Onoko Park in Jim Thorpe, kick back by the river, and fuel up with a tasty trail lunch—you’ll need that energy for what’s next! Afterward, take an uphill trek to a stunning vista with panoramic views.
Next, grab your paddle and tackle the whitewater rapids of the Lehigh River. Ride the rush of the rapids as you race past the ruins of 18th-century dams and locks. Our expert guides will be right there with you, ensuring you’re ready to conquer every rapid!
BUT WAIT…your Big Day Out doesn’t end yet…
After mastering the river, kick back and enjoy a free hot dinner, cold beer or soda (1st one is on us!), around a roaring bonfire to celebrate your Big Day Out at Pocono Whitewater!
