Pennsylvania whitewater - Moshannon River, Clearfield/Centre County

Clearfield/Centre county, Peale Bridge to West Br. Susquehanna River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     12.5 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Pennsylvania is often easier than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many runs in this state are very easy. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from State College, as you can see on the road map further down. The beautiful scenery of Pennsylvania and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Moshannon River doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Peale Bridge to West
    Br. Susquehanna River section is the only one. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This stretch is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camping stuff
too. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you won't find a large number of other places. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come.
