The beautiful scenery of Pennsylvania and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Pennsylvania are often more forgiving than in other states, so keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. This section of Indian Creek is 4.9 miles long and has been rated as a class III-IV(V) section by American Whitewater. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there
are lots of good places for that around here. The Route 381 to Camp Carmel stretch is the only paddling stretch along Indian Creek. This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations
you might end up sleeping in your car.
