CLASS II 1.4 miles
This stretch of Deer Creek in Clearfield County is 1.4 miles long and has been rated as a class II section by American Whitewater. The scenic beauty of Pennsylvania and the cool fresh water will make you feel great. The campgrounds here at Deer Creek are pretty good. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Pennsylvania you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. This is the only paddling section along Deer Creek. Getting a good workout and just being
out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. This section is very short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance
you're all set.
