The 24th annual Lehigh River Sojourn is Wildlands Conservancy’s 34-mile guided paddling trip on the Lehigh River. The event begins in the Pocono Mountains and ends in Easton. Sojourners travel through our region’s metro-wilderness – treasuring scenic views, visits from resident wildlife and a shared appreciation for preserving the Lehigh River.
The Lehigh River Sojourn takes place every June and timing is dependent upon the dam-release schedule.
Register. Paddle. And We Take Care of the Rest.
- Education programs to connect you with Wildlands’ work.
- A light breakfast and catered lunch!
- Dedicated safety team and paddling instruction.
- Need a canoe? Reserve your rental for a small fee when you register!
