UNLOCK the GUIDE!Here’s What You Need to Know About Delaware River Canoeing
What Class Are the Rapids?
The Delaware River is not known for its high-speed rapids, making it perfect for a relaxing family outing or a peaceful day trip into the Pocono wilderness. The highest rapids class is a Class III, which is just enough to satisfy some of the more adventurous paddlers. Laggardly paddlers need not worry, however. Most of the river is perfectly suited for first-time canoeists. Follow the river’s paddler map to find out which area is right for your skill level.

What to Bring on Your Outing
Whether you’re a first-time paddler or a seasoned veteran, there are some essentials that you’ll always need to carry with you when you’re heading out on the river. If you’re bringing your own boat, always make sure you are wearing a life jacket on the water. Even the best paddlers should be prepared for the unexpected. Additionally, it’s smart to bring water and sunscreen on hot summer days. If you want to pack a lunch, there are plenty of great camping areas where you can stop for a quick lunch break!
