Please join Troop 58 for a White Water Rafting Adventure!The troop will be returning to Ohiopyle, PA and rafting the famous Youghiogheny River (locals call it the “Yok”). The Lower Yough is famous in the whitewater rafting community for its exciting rapids and beautiful scenery. The Yough is a processional river used by olympians because of the consistent flow of the water. It’s one of the best white water rafting rivers in the country so I highly recommend you sign up.Check out this video compiled from prior year White Water Rafting trips: This year we will be camping at OHIOPYLE STATE PARK, PA.
