River Spotlight
The Lehigh River is located 2 hours outside NYC and 1.5 hours from Philadelphia. The main whitewater sections are located in the Lehigh George State park. We suggest Pocono Whitewater as your outfitter for this trip as they have been around for 35 years and are still a totally family run company.
