Explore White Water Rafting On Our Taste of the Yough Tour

Reserve the Lower Yough Taste of the Yough Tour to experience a smaller portion of the river without sacrificing adventure. This private trip travels down the first 1.5 miles of the 7.5 Lower Yough section. Your trip ends almost where it begins as you travel around the “loop” of the Ferncliff Peninsula within the Ohiopyle State Park. You’ll encounter plenty of white water splash along this section with solid class III rapids. Our experienced guides are in the boat, helping you navigate the best routes.

Choose either early morning or late afternoon for your excursion so you can combine your white water rafting experience with other Laurel Highlands attractions. Your Taste of the Yough trip includes raft (minimum of 4 people up to six people), paddles, life jackets, helmets, transportation back to check-in, guide in raft. Booking in advance is required. (Available on select days only.) We gladly accept reservations year round for rafting trips April-October.

Please expect to be on the water approximately 1 1/2 hours.

Beginners to experienced rafters, and everyone in between! Anyone needing a shorter adventure or desiring a private experience.
This section is Class II through IV.

Class II: Easy rapids with slightly larger waves and disturbances. Clear channels that are obvious without scouting.
