Guide escorted tours for Ohiopyle rafting trips at White Water Adventurers, Inc. (on the Middle Yough and Lower Yough) include a 4 to 6 person raft, paddles, personal flotation devices, helmets, a deli-style lunch, transportation back to the check-in area, and guide escorts in kayaks along with the trip (not in the raft with you).
That is your basic Ohiopyle rafting vacation. You can customize your fun family vacation in many ways.
Upgrades include: the captained raft option (a guide in the raft with you), taking a 1 or 2 person inflatable kayak instead of the raft, biking back to Ohiopyle instead of riding the bus, or for groups of 20 or more, having a BBQ/picnic after the trip.
Class 5 rafting trips on the Upper Yough include a 4 person raft (3 guests and 1 guide), paddles, personal flotation devices, helmets, transportation to the river and back to the check-in area in Ohiopyle, and lunch at our coffee shop before the trip.
The Cheat River tour includes rafts (the size depends on the water level), paddles, personal flotation devices, helmets, a deli-style lunch, transportation to the river and back to the check-in area in Ohiopyle, and guides in the raft with you.
Here at White Water Adventurers we pride ourselves on being flexible.
Under normal water conditions, our Ohiopyle rafting trips use 4 to 6 person rafts and the guides travel downriver in their own kayaks. Your fun family vacation does not need to fill a raft. We can accommodate any group size.
Smaller family rafting trips will be paired up with other rafters (This is a great way to make new friends.) or you may choose to upgrade to a 1 or 2 person inflatable kayak or personal paddle boat.
Don't worry if your family vacation group includes an odd number of persons. Rafts can have 3 or 5 persons too.
If you are looking at our captained raft option (a guide in the raft), we try to limit the raft to no more than 5 guests and the guide. Otherwise, there's not a lot of leg room.
Bottom line: It's your group. You choose how many you would like to have in the raft and who you want to sit beside. Remember, we're having FUN here!

Memorial day weekend has come and gone, so summer has offically started here in Ohiopyle State Park. Ohiopyle has Rafting near Pittsburgh, and is close enough to offer DC weekend trips, on the powerful Youghigheny river. As you can tell by the picture, our guides, especially Zane here, have been anxiously awaiting the warm weather. If you're looking for I, II, III, IV, or even Class 5 rafting, we offer it all here at Ohiopyle State Park, the top family vacation spot in Southwestern Pennslyvania.
Rain usually dampers most people's summer plans, but not here in Ohiopyle State Park. With all this extra rain brings big water and even bigger thrills. Ohiopyle Rafting Vacations are fun, no matter the weather, we run trips through rain, thunderstorms, and even volcanic eruptions (which are rare here in South Western PA.) Whether you're looking for a mild float trip on our Middle Yough trip, a class 3/4 run on our most popular Lower Yough, or a challenging trip on our Upper Yough which is a Class 5 Rafting run, all are more fun with more water. White Water Adventurers offers the best Pennsylvania Rafting in the State. So if the rain has got you feeling blue, let us take you on an unforgettable journey down the beautiful Youghigheny, which is sure to wash away those pre summer jitters. As the fellow in the picture will tell you, with Ohiopyle Rafting, getting wet is half the fun.
A lot of people enjoy rafting in Ohiopyle for a fun family vacation, but not everybody has the time to a do a full 3-5 hour trip. Well fear not, there is a trip for you! The first mile and a half of the Lower Yough makes up a section of the river called "The Loop." And even though it is only a mile and a half, this section is filled with thrills! If you would like to go on a guided tour and just do " The Loop " no problem just let us know.
Or you can still rent a 4 or 6 person raft, inflatable kayak, or a personal paddle boat. The Loop takeout leads you to the bike trail, which allows you to transport your craft of choice back to us.
The greatest thing about the Loop is that it can be completed in 30-45 minutes! Many people will go on the Loop 2 or 3 times. So if you are just now deciding on going on a last minute family rafting trip, coming up for the day from Pittsburgh or DC, check out the Loop if you are pressed for time!
Here at White Water Adventurers, we strive to provide a fun family vacation for everyone. Whether you are interested in renting a raft or going on one of our guided raft trips, or going for some class 4-class 5 rafting on the Upper Yough, there is always something to try. Everybody is trying to jump on at the last second!
However, our trips do fill up quick so it is best to make a reservation as soon as possible.
Whether you are on a DC weekend trip, or even if you live in Ohiopyle State Park, make a reservation, jump in a raft and experience some good ol' Ohiopyle rafting!
With the weather warming up, everbody is running, and slithering, to Ohiopyle State Park. Everybody (or snake) wants a piece of the action. There isn't any other type of fun activity like an Ohiopyle rafting vacation!
One of our photographers snapped a pic of this beautiful snake enjoying the sun for his very own family vacation. Whether you are interested in enjoying the sun, checking out the wonderful forests or planning to do some Ohiopyle rafting, there is always something to do.
Here at Whitewater Adventurers, we offer the very best guided raft trips and unguided raft rentals. So crawl on out of your cave and have a great family vacation trip and create your own personal white water adventure!
With the weather getting warmer and warmer, you can almost smell summer coming. And with summer coming, that means its time for family vacation getaways. These trips can either be a great time or a terrible ride with your kids or siblings. To make the best out of your family vacation, whether you're rafting guided trips, going hiking, or just chilling at the beach, you need some music to accompany you for the good times. So this summer if you need some jams, here are some of our current favorite bands to check out.
Write This Down is a new up and coming band that you should keep your eye on. With some hard guitar riffs and catchy vocals, this is one band you will want to accompany you during and after your family vacation trips.
If you're a fan of classic rock (cowbells included) then you might want to check out The Classic Crime. Their third album Vagabonds proves that sophistication isn't always necessary. The perfect example is the song Solar Powered Life. The song states that all you need to have a good time is some fun in the sun. The song could very well be an anthem about Ohiopyle State Park, because I will definitely be having a good time white water rafting, and then rocking out to some sweet summer jams.
Here at White Water Adventurers we love to introduce young children to rafting.The
Middle Yough is the perfect place. For children as young as 5 can start on the Middle Yough. They get a chance to see what White Water rafting is all about, to use the paddle to move their boats down river and swim right in the river.The Middle has the the best scenery that you can enjoy while rafting in Ohiopyle State Park. This is one of the the Top Family Vacation spots around the area.
While on the Middle Yough you may see ducks swimming along with you, even deer come down for a drink as you pass by, While you are on your tour you may even see a large and loud.....Train. You will see this river right, and you will see one or two pass you by as you paddle down.
For a Fun Family Rafting trips consider the Middle Yough, not only for the young but even for the older ones in your family. We have inflatables which are like kayaks, but they are open you are not closed in so you have no worries of trying to roll over. If you flip or fall out you just climb back in.
You can go on the Middle yough with a guided tour or you can rent the equipment and go it alone. On our guided tour we will show you the best path to paddle down we provide the guide staff to help you enjoy the best rafting trip you can experience. If you feel adventurous and go it alone that is fine pack your own lunch and drinks and enjoy the day, there are plenty of sandy beaches to pull your raft into. Stop and enjoy with your family what Ohiopyle has to offer.
