Pennsylvania whitewater - Little Conemaugh River, Cambria County Cambria county, South Fork to Johnstown section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II     10.2 miles   Ran this river for the first time today thinking it would be a gentle paddle. WARNING. It is NOT class II. There are many boulders and ledges. Swift current in high water. Hazardous thirty-foot waterfall right after a sharp bend to the left...with no warning. I banged my kayak up really bad taking the fall and nearly died. BE CAUTIOUS. Says The beautiful scenery of Cambria County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.
