This creek is not wide enough nor deep enough to kayak in. Says Patrick
The put-in location is a reasonable drive from York-Hanover, as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Pennsylvania tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. The beautiful scenery of York County and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming
from far and near. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. This is a somewhat short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. There are plenty of hotels here if you
want to spend a night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. There's camping available near Beaver Creek.
