    campgrounds nearby. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Pennsylvania are often more
forgiving than in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. This stretch is mid length, good for a one day paddling trip.
