River Tay Stanley White Water Rafting trip.

River Tay Stanley White Water Rafting The Rapids
The Stanley section of the river Tay is a half day trip, it is about four miles in distance, and is equally good in low water levels as it is when the river is running high. Exciting rapids make this trip an ideal introduction to the sport of whitewater rafting. Rapids like ‘The Weir’ and ‘Hell Hole Corner’ make your trip a memorable one. The rapids are all graded between 2 and 3 for a fun day on a short section of Scotland’s longest river.
Location
Stanley is just north of the city of Perth, ‘The Fair City’. The meeting point is a short journey time from Edinburgh or Glasgow, which makes this the perfect whitewater rafting experience for the day-tripper.
The River Tay is lined with trees and dotted with sandy beaches. Usually, the water here is warmer than it is upstream.
