Some things change… but some things just get better with time.

Back when short shorts were mandatory, paddles were heavy, and the river stories were even heavier — this crew was out here doing what we still do today: showing people a damn good time on the water.

Decades later, Laurel Highlands River Tours is still built on the same grit, the same laughs, and the same love for the river. That’s a legacy we’re dang proud to carry forward every single day.

Classic never goes out of style. 🌊

Wanna be like Trout?

Now’s your chance.

We’re building our 2026 river guide crew and looking for people who want more than just a normal summer job.

Long days on the river.
Big whitewater.
A crew that feels like family.

No experience necessary — we train the right people.

Our Guide training begins April 18th.

If the river’s been calling your name, come run it with us. 🌊

It was never just the river.

The Yough has always run wild and steady through Ohiopyle.
That part was here long before us.

What built Laurel Highlands River Tours
was the people who chose to stand beside it.

The ones who rigged boats in the dark.
Who swept the shop without being asked.
Who learned every rapid by heart.
Who came back the next season… and the next.

Long before social media.
Long before online bookings.
There were just guides, gravel, and grit.

And that spirit never left.

It lives in the way a senior guide teaches a rookie.
In the way safety comes before ego.
In the way we treat guests like they’re already part of the crew.

Companies don’t earn reputations in a single summer.
They earn them in decades of early mornings and high water days.

Laurel Highlands River Tours is what it is
because of long-time dedication,
deep-rooted values,
and people who believed this work mattered.

The river shapes the canyon.
The people shaped this place.

And that’s something worth protecting.
