This stretch of Mahoning Creek is 12.5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I-II section of whitewater.
    Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. 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. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This is the only paddling stretch along Mahoning Creek. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Pennsylvania are easier than the national norm, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less demanding.
