Canyon Rafting

Experience the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon in the truest form: Floating Pine Creek.

If you do not have much ‘on the water’ skill, allow us to relieve the stress of assessing your own whitewater ability. A trained PCO River Guide will accompany you either in your raft or alongside you in a separate boat to aid you in navigating the rapids and to share the history of how the Canyon became what it is today. This is a 17 mile adventure through the most remote section of the Pine Creek Gorge, known as the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. Look forward to observing beautiful landscape features and abundant wildlife as you float your way into a glacier carved gorge that has left only whispers of its creation.

This trip includes Class I-III rapids (depending on water level), canyon wall waterfalls, and a complimentary lunch at the halfway point at Tiaghdaton Campground. Allow yourself to relax knowing all the logistics are handled and focus on having a memorable experience with your family and friends.

Only available on Saturdays and available other days for groups of 12 or more.
