The 2024 Lehigh River Mega Release: Featuring Triple Drop, at 3,330cfs Whitewater Rafting Triple Drop on the Lehigh River with @RiverTrailOutfitters, @FrankensteinDIYkayak, @glenndouglass9921, @lisamassee2139 & Shredding with @jerkonoza7812 Good Times with Great Friends. First time rafting the Lehigh...Triple Drop felt came at us in the fashion of "Single Drop," with the plan to power through the dam on the traditional right line, but down the middle in the most retentive line she went...with it being the guides's first time, in it looking like the third drop was after the dam, in how it presented as the first drop. First Mega Release...and the most fun yet, on par in being top tier fun with the annual Lehigh Classic downriver race. Kayaked The Upper Section at approx. 2,500cfs, and making the safe decision in opting with the raft with the unknown, to learn what to expect with the lines and features at 3,500cfs+. The camaraderie couldn't have been any more of a blast! Looking for a crew? Come out and join us! Description of Triple Drop per American Whitewater: "A large island divides the river with some Class II riffles to the right of the island. Some small rocks and bushes mark the passage entering the left of the island. Chose any slot that has enough water to float you. Enter the channel below in the center, and work your way right to avoid a ledge on river left. About half way down the island you will see a horizon line marking a drop of about 1 foot. Punch the reversal on the far right. If you get stuck you could be in for a long time, until you paddle over to the left shore and drag your raft out. At higher water levels (3,000 cfs or greater) the hole becomes a very sticky surf. Several people have dislocated their shoulders here. There is a tiny surfing hole below this drop. After it, work your way over to the right to rejoin the current as it comes from the right side of the island. A fair stretch of flatwater brings you past Hayes creek with 3 pillars remaining from an old bridge.." - https://www.americanwhitewater.org/co...

I do not ever hope to accumulate great funds of worldly wealth, but I shall accumulate something far more valuable, a store of wonderful memories. When I reach the twilight of life I shall look back and say I'm glad I lived as I did, life has been good to me." Sigurd F.
