CLASS III-IV     5 miles
  This stretch of Little Scrubgrass is 5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. The scenic beauty of Venango County and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. If you're coming from Oil City it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page
    so you won’t get lost. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. 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. On this section you do get some distance, it's good length for a morning trip. Little Scrubgrass doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Rt 208 Bridge to Allegheny River stretch is the only one.
