county,
Above SR 879 to West Branch Susquehanna River confluence section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II 1.4 miles
If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Pennsylvania you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The wonderful Pennsylvania scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Deer Creek beats anything. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. This is a very short stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch.
This section of Deer Creek in Clearfield County is 1.4 miles long and it is classified as a class II section by American Whitewater. 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.
