Lehigh River, Section 2 PA: 2500 CFS Mega Release Weekend Fall 2022

Paddling Section 2 of the Lehigh River from Rockport to Glen Onoko near Jim Thorpe, PA. 13 plus miles of 2500 CFS whitewater through the Lehigh Valley Gorge in the peak of fall foliage.
We finished in three hours. Most of the normal rocks had a healthy supply of water flowing over them.
Used this opportunity to show what the rapids look like at this water level. I took the conservative lines. Hopefully, this will help guide others for mega-release weekends on the Lehigh.
Big ups to JB and Aaron from Pittsburgh for having my back on my first big water hardshell kayak day. They helped me big time when I swam at Penn Haven. Awesome whitewater paddling weekend out in Eastern Pennsylvania

How do you learn the names of the rapid on this section of the river? I'm about to raft it for the first time and I could use any advice to prepare.

sorry i missed this! American Whitewater is a great tool to learn about the rapids!
