Monday, June 28, 2010 by ww adventures

The guides that work at White Water Adventurers are so experienced, they don't even need rafts! So what are you waiting for? Come visit Ohiopyle State Park and go rafting, and who knows, you may even witness a guide walk on water!

RAFTING.COM sends out a shout out to the "Yough"

Sunday, June 27, 2010 by ww adventures


Featured in Friday June 25th issue of the USA Today, is our very own Youghiogheny River. Listed as one of the Top Family Vacation spots for rafting in the Country! Ohiopyle State Park features Rafting Guided Trips for everybody, from the Novice to the Expert. From Class I to Class 5 Rafting, we got it all here, but don't take it from us! Listen to the to U.S Rafting Association President Tim Brink who says, "The nearby town of Ohiopyle just oozes river culture." While we agree here at White Water Adventurers, we also like to state that oozing river culture sounds like we don't take care of our personal hygiene, and we assure you, we do, most of us anyways.

May Rain brings big rapids to Ohiopyle State Park

Monday, May 24, 2010 by ww adventures

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.

Summertime Music

Sunday, April 25, 2010 by ww adventures
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.

Family Trips

Friday, April 23, 2010 by Carol Kuhns
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.

Well Ohiopyle is a little cold today with it being only 38 degrees and a little windy. That did not stop the few people who made a get away from the city. The couple had planed on a quick trip to Ohiopyle State Park, but then discovered us and came white water rafting. This DC weekend trip was a great and easy trip they said, it only took a few hours to get here and they did not have to worry about the crazy traffic they encounter in DC. They not only had a blast today in the cold but they are also planning their next Pennsylvania White Water Rafting vacation now.

Our season has officially started so don't be the last to book your fun family vacation white water rafting. If that is not your cup of tea you should check out our bike rentals along the Lower Yough as well as the Middle Yough. See you on the river, to book your trip give one of our office girls a call 1800 -WWA-RAFT ( 992-7238).

Thursday, January 7, 2010 by Carol Kuhns
Every year the most common new year resolution is to lose weight, next to quit smoking. {Sorry we can not help you with that}.What a better way to get out exercise and enjoy your family, is to come to Ohiopyle State Park. Here you can rent a bike and access the
Great Allegheny Passage. Or if you are the adventurous type, can seek out off the beaten trails of the Ohiopyle State park,we have maps that will guide you to those paths for mountain bike trails.We also have, what we call pedal paddle. Which you pedal up the 9 miles right along the river, after that we will have all your equipment you need for your 9 mile paddle trip back to Ohiopyle.You will be paddling a class 1 and 2 river. Pack a lunch, we do have White Water Coffee shop that can pack a river lunch for you.

White Water Hummm ......

Thursday, January 7, 2010 by Carol Kuhns
If you live any where in  this country, this winter has been pretty cold. You can not escape the bitterness even, as far south as Florida they have been experiencing the cold. I am sure the last thing on your mind is White Water Rafting. As you shovel yet another day,there seems to be no end to this. Just keep in mind there are only 13 weeks of winter and soon this will all melt. Which means, come spring the lower yough will make for the best the Youghiogheny River in Ohiopyle State Park has to offer. You are on a class 3 and 4 river but will feel like a class 5. But do keep in mind when the water levels are high we do have the professional guide in your raft. We use the larger rafts when we are above 4 foot, these rafts will hold up to 8 to 10  people. Plan now get your friends together. Once this snow is gone, come March we will be ready. Will you?   Oh by the way this is our Manager Jim Greenbaum

Relax, summers' over

Friday, August 28, 2009 by ww adventures

Did that summer go fast or what? White water rafting in the great  State of Pennsylvania has been ideal. The weather has been as normal as normal can be, enough rain to keep the springs full and the rivers "rapid". If you missed summer or didn't do an Ohiopyle rafting vacation, there is still plenty of time to enjoy our scenic areas. 
If you just need a quick weekend get-a-way, try Ohiopyle whitewater rafting, biking on the G.A.P. or just relaxing!!
