The Lower Yough (LY) is a classic class III run that is less than 1.5 hours away from Pittsburgh. We put on the river at 11AM and didn’t get off the river until 5pm!! That is the longest LY trip I have ever done! Everyone had a great day on the water. We played and surfed for a long time in Entrance. David and Jeff both were able to get their flat spins to work at Donut Hole and Nemo’s Hole. Everyone had great lines trough Dimple Rapid and we got to witness a lot of raft carnage. We probably stayed at Swimmers’ Rapid for 2.5 hours! We were able to have a ‘party wave’ with 5 people in it! We had a blast at Swimmers’. When we got off of the river, we even found someone to shuttle 2 of our boats to the car! It turned out to be a great weekend of kayaking.
