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.
