Late reservations are often possible, so please call us to find out!

Q. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASS I, II, AND III RAPIDS?

Class I - Easy. Fast moving water with riffles and small waves. Few obstructions, all obvious and easily missed with little training.

Class II - Novice. Straightforward rapids with wide, clear channels which are evident without scouting. Occasional maneuvering may be required, but rocks and medium-sized waves are easily missed.

Class III - Intermediate. Rapids with moderate, irregular waves. Complex maneuvers in fast current and good boat control in tight passages or around ledges are often required; large waves or strainers may be present but are easily avoided. Strong eddies and powerful current effects can be found, particularly on large-volume rivers. Scouting is advisable for inexperienced parties. Self-rescue is usually easy but group assistance may be required to avoid long swims.

Q. WHAT IS THE WEATHER IN
JIM THORPE?
