OK, we get it, this isn’t “in the city”! A bus will take you to the Lehigh River for a day of whitewater rafting. This is the perfect plan to escape the city heat. Two to three hours down Class II and III rapids leads you into a break for a delicious lunch followed by more rafting before you head back (on the bus) to NYC. Don’t be left high and dry!
