💧Overview

Lehigh River Classic is a mass start endurance race of around 40 minutes with mostly flat water and some class II. I would argue that this is the most laid back race in the Northeast Festival Circuit and that caters to a lot of friendly competition. This is the only race in the circuit I have seen dogs in the racing vessels!


If you are in the area or willing to travel this is a great event to meet new people. The after party was very comfortable with plenty of seating, food options, live music, beer pong tournament, and raft guide olympics.


⛺️ Where to stay

Lehigh Classic is part of the 3-Day Lehigh River Fest and in 2023 Whitewater Challengers hosted this event for the whole weekend and offered $15 camping that includes both Friday and Saturday night. It seemed there was plenty of room to camp. View their link to RiverFest 2023

Stonycreek Rendezvous has the most chill vibes. Low key surf days and most family-friendly event.
