The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your camp stove.
    The starting location is a reasonable drive from DuBois, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance
because these hotels fill up quick. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
