Lower Yough Fun Run

About this event

Join us on the Lower Yough for a fun day of whitewater fun with club friends. The trip is open to first timers and experienced paddlers. We'll meet at Ohiopyle put-in parking lot at 11am to set shuttle and plan on being on the water by 12. The run is class III so a good roll is recommended for kayakers.

If you are hard-boat kayaking a good roll is necessary. Helmet and PFD are required, depending on your setup, spray skirt, paddle and endless enthusiasm are as well.

For those that haven’t run the Lower Yough before, we will discuss the different lines before running each rapid and do our best to get everyone down safely. The trip will offer running clean lines or ramping up for whatever the group is comfortable with. We will stop at Swimmers rapid for some surfing and food, pack a lunch, it’s a good spot to refuel before we finish the run.

See you there!
