Upper Yough Rafting
Ages 16+ | Get ready to get extreme! Class V adventure. Booking in advance encouraged.
About
The Upper Yough is the kind of adventure you’ll talk about for years. This 10-mile stretch drops fast through a remote, hemlock-lined canyon, delivering nearly continuous Class IV–V whitewater. Expect powerful waves, technical maneuvers, and heart-pounding rapids that demand teamwork and trust in your guide.
From the first push into the current, you’ll feel the energy build—tight lines, quick decisions, big splashes, and that electric calm between rapids. Our certified guides lead small crews, giving you the confidence to push your limits while staying supported every step of the way.
It’s challenging, exhilarating, and incredibly rewarding—designed for adventurous guests ready to step up to one of the East Coast’s most iconic whitewater runs. Available on scheduled dam release dates, April through October.
