Our Bad Adventures team works hard to build special Pennsylvania river adventures. We call them Paddle Happy trips. We curate the sections we paddle for interesting features and fantastic scenery. We agonize over making them entertaining with live music and fun activities. And we go crazy over the food and basecamps.

The true magic is in the community that surrounds Paddle Happy. We’re a community that welcomes new paddlers. We’re a community obsessed with making our adventures as safe as possible. And we’re a community who love and support one another.

Christine A. from Philadelphia sums it up best: “Bad Adventures creates an ethos that transcends the typical group trip.”

I feel proud to be part of that ethos.

And I feel even prouder of the million ways my teammates—and this paddling community—consummately embody that ethos.

Come find out what the fuss is all about. Join us on a Paddle Happy river trip. I’ll see you on the water!
