Wildlands Conservancy: Annual Lehigh River Sojourn! Paddle into Summer with Some Family Fun!
The 27th annual Lehigh River Sojourn, June 10-11, 2023, is Wildlands Conservancy’s guided paddling trip on the Lehigh River. This two-day experience invites the adventure of whitewater rafting through the Lehigh Gorge in the Poconos, along with a canoeing or kayaking experience through the metro-wilderness reaches of the Lehigh River in the Lehigh Valley that includes a special exploration of Island Park this year. Sojourners are treated to scenic views, visits from resident wildlife, and a shared appreciation for the lifeblood of our region — our mighty and beloved Lehigh River! Choose to participate either day (camping overnight options available) or join us both days & Save 10%.
