Big Day Out
Bike, Hike & Raft the Lehigh Gorge In one day
If you’re seeking a BIG multisport adventure – Rafting, Biking and Hiking – then our BIG DAY OUT is definitely for you. Arrive at Pocono Whitewater and check-in for your Big Day Out. You can grab a cup of coffee or breakfast sandwich at the Broken Paddle Bar & Grill. Following breakfast, your excursion will begin via Trek bike as you cruise between the 1000 foot walls of the Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail to the famous Glen Onoko in Jim Thorpe where you will relax by the river and enjoy your tasty lunch.
After lunch, your BIG adventure continues with a scenic hike to a beautiful overlook of the Lehigh River. You will descend back to the Lehigh River where rafts and equipment will be ready for your arrival as you begin whitewater rafting on the final leg of your adventure! The Lehigh rolls and bends as you navigate rapids past the ruins of 18th century dams, locks, and dwellings. Our friendly, well-trained guides will accompany you every step of the way.
BUT WAIT…your Big Day Out doesn’t end yet…
A delicious dinner and roaring bonfire at our Whitewater Rafting Adventure Center await your return. Your first victory drink (beer or soda) will be on us! Finally, your day is complete and you can hang out around the bonfire and brag that you survived Pocono Whitewater’s BIG DAY OUT!
