A beautiful section along the last Lehigh Gorge, this section of the Lehigh River begins at gorgeous Glen Onoko near a tributaries waterfall and ends in the city of Bowmanstown. This is an easy family float and a great place for training beginners. The Lehigh is a wide river with some surfing waves, eddy lines and easy drops. The two main Class II rapids are near the start and end of the trip. The first, Bear Trap is in Jim Thorpe and needs to be started in the middle and run to the right, avoiding rocks at the bottom along river right. Carnage is the other rapid located in Bowmanstown and it is advised to start left and follow the main flow to the right avoiding the large rocks in the middle of the channel. The remainder of the river consists mostly of riffles with flatwater and some small wave trains.
