Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Pennsylvania are easier than the national norm, so keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. The scenic beauty of Pennsylvania and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water have people coming here. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby.
The put-in location is a short drive from Williamsport, as you can see on the road map further down. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camping stuff too. The Lick Run to Pine Creek stretch of Babb Creek in Tioga
