The starting location is a short drive from Somerset, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The natural beauty of Pennsylvania and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have
to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. This is one of a small number of paddling sections in this river system, there are a few others too.
If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good spots for that around here.
