The state of Delaware is the first U.S. state to be admitted to the Union, and as such, this should be the first state to experience water rafting. In this article we will go on a tour of the best places to go water rafting in Delaware.
Indian Head Casinos
The Indian Head Casino is the place to do your water rafting while rolling the dice to win a bit of money. Located on the banks of the Delaware River in southern New York, this attraction offers you and your companions a mix of excitement and fun, as you all row down the rocky and unstable waters of the Delaware River. After getting the adrenaline rush of your life, you change into casual attire and head down to the casino where you place your bets on games like, baccarat, poker, blackjack and roulette – all day long.
Kittatinny Campgrounds
The Kittatinny Campgrounds, also located in southern New York, is another great place to go whitewater rafting. There you and your companions can take a wild ride along the Delaware River. The raft rides are so easy that even those with no experience in rafting will ride like a pro. The campground is open all summer, so you still have plenty of time to enjoy a bit of whitewater rafting.
Now, the places to raft within the state of Delaware are as follows.
Brandywine Creek
Brandywine Creek is located about 236 miles from Dover, the capital of Delaware. Here you and your companions can spend the day bouncing up and down on the waves of this powerful creek. This rafting trip is recommended for only intermediate whitewater rafters, but not novices. The waters can get very rough - all eight miles of it - and a novice may not be able to handle it. But, if you want to take a chance and ride on this creek, you are welcome to do so. The creek is open all year, but the best time to go water rafting is in the summertime.
Red Clay Creek
The Red Clay Creek, also located in Delaware, is another good place to enjoy a good run of whitewater rafting. Imagine you and your crew cruising through this slower and gentler creek. That is why this creek is recommended for novices and those with little experience in water rafting. Also, the course is approximately 11 miles long – not very long for those who are pros at this adrenaline-pumping sport. This creek is also open all year long -- plenty of time to find your way there and experience the waves of the Delaware River.
That concludes our tour of some of the best places to go water rafting on and near the Delaware River. There are more places to get your water rafting on and have a little fun, but we are out of time, so until next time, I will see you rolling the waves of the mighty Delaware River.
