Scrubgrass Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Route 308 to Allegheny River stretch is the only one. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very demanding.

    but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The put-in location is a short drive from Oil City, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't
matter, this is an area with plenty of places for that. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. On this section you do get some distance, it's good length for a morning trip.
