Here at White Water Adventurers our season is coming to an end . As we see the leaves change so quickly, from the brilliant green to the wonderful fall colors of reds and yellows to the bright orange. Ohiopyle State Park is not quite at its peak yet ,however soon we will be there. We have a few trips left be run on the
lower Yough. This time of the year makes the best for Pennsylvania Rafting in Ohiopyle, not only to enjoy time with family and friends but to see Autumn come alive in Ohiopyle State Park. Come take a walk with your kids or significant other, rent a bike and ride the trials along the river. The mass colors of Ohiopyle will not last long.Set aside some time, this weekend come to Pennsylvania and enjoy what nature has to offer.

So have you been missing out on summer fun and not getting to see some of the high school or college friends you had planned on? Well Ohiopyle is a great place to get the ball moving on your summer weekend getaway with those friends. Whitewater Adventurers offers you the ability to rent your own raft.

I know this sounds weird but my friends and I just wanted to take our time going down the river and catching up on old times and stories. Well I came to find out that Pennsylvania raft rentals is really not that common, because of some restrictions they put on taking your own raft down the river. My friends and I were so glad that the Ohiopyle State park lets you rent your own raft and take the challenge of guiding your self down the river. My friends and I have had so much fun rafting and hanging out in Ohiopyle that we now are going to make it our yearly outing to come back and visit and even try upper yough which is class 5 rafting. We are so excited and hope that everyone can experience the fun we had.

A big part of Ohiopyle Rafting Vacations has to do with the unique view of nature you get from a real wilderness experience that's as close as many other DC weekend trips.  

With today's Camera and dry-box technology Pennsylvania White Water Rafting can offer a perspective to photography that you will never find on a hike. 

I'm sure we don't have to tell you that it's been a rainey summer so far.  Ohiopyle Rafting is perhaps the one outdoor summer activity where we dance for rain....rain means fast water, great family adventure and lot's ofopportunitiess to get outside and see the world in a way that can't compare to another painful weekend in the suburbs.  Bring your camera;  Bring yourfamilyy & friends and come paddle the river with White WaterAdventurerss!

Life is clearly in full swing this spring here in the Laurel Highlands of southwest PA. The copious amount of rain fall has not only turned our mountains green, but has filled the rivers with water. Some of the best Pennsylvania White Water Rafting is now in season. Join us at White Water Adventurers for a guided trip down one of 4 spectacular sections of river. If the aqua adventure is not your sort, explore the area by bike or on foot. There is some much to see in Ohioplye.

We are always asked..... What should I wear when White Water Rafting ?  Well this is a pretty good example, however color coordination is completely up to you.  Thanks to our employee of White Water Adventurers, Ben who wanted to show off his choice of attire for our guests.  Ben is sporting a farmer john wet suit under a spray top and a pair of nylon swim trunks.   

Several years ago, my husband & I had the opportunity to go horseback riding through the rainforest in Puerto Rico. Guess what? It rained...no check that... it poured. We ended up soaked.  To this day, we laugh at the memory of the time that we got "rained on" in the rainforest.

Pennsylvania rafting is somewhat similar. You never know what is going to happen on any given day. Because we are in the mountains, our weather is unpredictable and we experience the full range of the seasons and all mother nature has to offer.
I was recently speaking with one of our guests who took one of our rafting guided trips on a cold, spring day. When I asked her if she had a good time, she replied, (I'm paraphrasing) that anyone could go rafting on an 80 degree summer day, but to wake up in the morning and see it snowing and still go rafting...That was an adventure.

How true. You only live once so you need to capture adventure where and when you can find it.  And just like my horseback riding experience through the rainforest, family rafting trips in the cold and rain create those lasting memories that bring a smile to your face when someone says, "Remember that time when..."

You might think that it was too cold for Pennsylvania white water rafting, but we had a trip today. Everyone donned plenty of cold weather gear (wetsuits, booties, and gloves) and headed for the river. They all looked quite colorful in their blue suits, and red life jackets.

Our wetsuits are farmer john style (like bib overalls) and come with either a nylon jacket or neoprene paddling jacket. So...you might be wondering, just what do you wear under a wetsuit? They must be right up against your skin for maximum effectiveness. Bathing suits are generally the preferred attire.

Part of the fun of Pennsylvania rafting is getting into a wetsuit in the spring. Not always the most attractive river attire but who cares when you get a day of fun on the river instead of being at work or school.
