The 2024 Lehigh Classic Whitewater Race & Lehigh Riverfest: The Upper Section, at 1,690cfs

The 2024 & The 12th Annual Running of The Lehigh Classic Whitewater Race & Lehigh Riverfest: The Upper Section, at 1,6900cfs, from White Haven to Rockport at Lehigh Gorge State Park with: ‪@PotomacPassageOolikhanna‬, ‪@NeskyBoizOutdoorCollective‬, & ‪@daggerkayaks‬ Kayaking the Lehigh River: The Upper Section, from White Haven to Rockport A fast & fun time with a juicy level, great friends, an awesome Race Director, and the coolest festive custom made race medals! This was the 12th Annual Lehigh River Classic/RiverFest. There were ten race classes: Wildwater, Youth, Men's Long Boat (Old School & Sa Kayak), Women's Long Boat, Long Boat (Modern), Tandem, Kayak (under nine feet), SUP Men's, SUP Women's, OCD2, and Hand Paddling - Play Boat. As is customary, the release level was a bouncy 1,690cfs, and a lot of added fun at Initiation and No Way. In total there were 31 boats with 35 competitors (27 men & eight women) and five volunteers. The main difference with the 2023 race compared to 2022, was that Old School Long Boats & Modern Long Boats were combined into a single Long Boat class. In 2024, all Old School Long Boats were combined into an unlimited class, to both include plastic and fiberglass/composite, without a restriction on length. The main difference between 2023 & 2024 is that the Modern Long Boats were separated from all Old School Long Boats and fiberglass/composite kayaks. It's always an entertaining site seeing the canoes with the smiling shotgun riding dogs!
