Pennsylvania whitewater - Loyalsock Creek, -blank- County

Lopez to US 220 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     10 miles
  The average Pennsylvania whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. The starting location is a short drive from Bloomsburg-Berwick, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The wonderful Pennsylvania scenery and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. The Lopez to US 220 section of Loyalsock Creek in -blank- County is 10 miles long and has been determined
    by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why
not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Lopez to US 220 stretch is one of them. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good spots for that around here.
