Silver Canoe & Whitewater Rafting offers one of the most popular trips on this section of the Delaware River. The trip starts in Pond Eddy and finishes in Port Jervis and on average takes about 5 hours and spans a distance of 10 miles. On this trip you will shoot through a series of class I & class ll rapids ‘Staircase’, ‘Mongaup’, ‘Hawk’s Nest’, ‘Mill Rift”, and ‘Eddy Farm’

In between the rapids are calmer waters for you to relax and swim, sunbathe, picnic and much more! You will float through breathtaking mountain scapes including the spectacular Hawk’s Nest Gorge!

Note: Canoes & Kayaks may continue 2 additional miles downstream to our main office, since they travel the river faster than rafts. Time of trips are an average and can vary due to weather and river conditions and overall enthusiasm of your group!
