Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Pennsylvania is often easier than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to
    stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so go ahead and pack your camp stove. Anderson Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the US Route 322 to West
Br. Susquehanna section is the only one. The wonderful Pennsylvania scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other places for that.
