Pennsylvania whitewater - Cherry Run, Clarion County

Clarion county, Lower Cherry Run section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  The beautiful scenery of Clarion County and the cool fresh water have people coming here. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Pennsylvania you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less demanding. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Oil City, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further
    down the page. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of places for that.
This section is very short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch.
