Whitewater Course at Wisp

This weekend is calling for a wet and wild adventure with temperatures in the high 70s.  Cool off by splashing and paddling around our unique and fun whitewater course atop the mountain at Wisp Resort.

Just minutes away from the base of Wisp Resort sits the world’s only mountaintop re-circulating whitewater course.  The course was designed and built to host Olympic caliber races and adjustable to comfortably accommodate beginners and families.  The course is just over 1700 feet long, dropping 24 feet from the top to the bottom.  Water is pumped from the lower pond and shoots into the pool at a whopping speed of 5 feet per second! 

Experienced guides will help you and your group maneuver through the gentle rapids or for a wilder ride, you may try the smaller High Adventure Guided tour.  Private rafting and boating are also available. So, no matter if you are a veteran rafter or new to riding the rapids, you are sure to experience the thrill of whitewater!   

Not sure what to wear?  Comfort wear is available for rent and includes neoprene booties, a wetsuit, and a splash jacket.  Don’t forget to bring a dry change of clothes, towel, and shoes for after your trip.  Showers, changing rooms, and secure lockers are available for your convenience.
