Pennsylvania whitewater - Shohola Creek, Pike County Pike county, Shohola Falls Park to Mouth section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-IV     9.5 miles   Raft??? First off, I cant see raft going through box canyon. It might be possible, but I wouldn't want to see someone I care about be the first. After the box, downstream of the route 6 bridge, you would need a lot of rain, I mean an awful lot of rain to get through the flat water section. Personally, I do some tough runs (CL4+) and I'm not sure I'd wanna be there with that much water. With plenty of water, medium level, we were scraping a lot in the flat water section. Also, in the canyon, if someone gets hurt, they are in for a bad day. This is evident     by looking at a typo map or looking down from route three bridge. ''outside the state you might find the rivers here are more forgiving''. My travel for White Water is limited: NY, NJ, MA, CT, WV, MD, VT, NC. Never been out west. With my limited experience the above states and PA and 5 years kayaking including winter, I have no clue what the above quote means. Ratings CL1-5 (6 being a rating meaning it might not be runable), while far from perfect is a pretty good indication of water difficulty. Don't paddle here unless you know what you or doing. Says J.D. The natural beauty of Pennsylvania and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. This section of Shohola Creek in Pennsylvania is 9.5 miles long and it is classified as a class I-IV section by American Whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Pennsylvania   is often easier than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. Shohola Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Shohola Falls Park to Mouth section is the only one. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come.
