Event overview

Ready For An Adventure? Come join The Mission Continues Lowell Platoon for a spring whitewater rafting trip on the Concord River with Zora's Outdoor Adventures, Saturday May 13th 12:45pm - 4:00pm, Zora's professional whitewater rafting guides have years of experience guiding everyone from beginners to experts down mellow floats to Class IV thrillers. With their highly trained guides, excellent safety record and state-of-the-art rafting equipment, Zora's guides give you the security of knowing you are in expert hands. The Concord River is an urban gem that plunges over three major class III-IV rapids - Twisted Sister, Three Beauties, and The Middlesex Dam. When the water level is right, Three Beauties becomes an intensely fun surfing hole. A portion of the proceeds from this trip benefit the Lowell Parks and Conservation Trust, working to preserve green space in the city of Lowell. Please arrive at 12:45pm! We will meet our tour guide in front of the UMass Lowell's Inn and Conference Center for gear issue and briefing. Email me your height, weight and shoe size for wet suit and water boots. Limited space is available so participants MUST REGISTER. Please email me if there are cancellation or to be put on a waiting list! This an adult only event!

What To Wear

You are required to wear sneakers or other shoes that can be secured to your feet. No flip-flops or Crocs! Zoar Outdoor will provide a wetsuit, splash jacket, and river booties. Wool and synthetic materials such as polypropylene, nylon, and fleece, are appropriate for cooler weather and water temperatures. We ask you to not wear cotton, as it will keep you cold and wet. Car keys will be kept safe during the trip in a lock box. Expect everything you bring with you on the raft to get wet.
