The put-in location is a short drive from DuBois, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The scenic beauty of Cambria/Clearfield County and the water flowing gracefully down Clearfield Creek will make you feel great. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. A stretch this long is of course
    too much for a one day trip, perfect for a real wilderness adventure. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. This section of Clearfield Creek is 62.2 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. The
nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you won't find a large number of other places.
