Rafting

   
     

This part of the country showcases multiple opportunities for riding an untamed river by raft. The Youghiogheny, the Cheat, the Lehigh and Pine Creek are all dripping with rafting experiences! Based on skill level, one can find rafting-friendly waters ranging from Class II through Class V+ within a couple hour's drive of Pittsburgh. Local outfitters offering equipment, training, and guides are located near all of these whitewater destinations.

 
     

The Explorers Club of Pittsburgh has been floating the whitecapped waterways for the majority of its 50 year history. The club currently owns several rafts, paddles, pumps and drybags which are available for rent. Our strong relationship with the Three Rivers Paddling Club (TRPC) and its members is also evident within the rafting element. There are typically one or two ECP/TRPC joint rafting trips planned every year. Contact the current rafting coordinator for more information.

NOTE: Whitewater rafting, like many of the other activities in the club, involves serious risk and should not be attempted without an experienced guide or leader. Read this safety warning provided by the current rafting coordinator.
