Pennsylvania whitewater, Connoquenessing Creek Beaver county, Calgon to 2nd treatment plant section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     6 miles   Just did this stretch of the Connoquenessing Creek today after a fair amount of rain the previous day....TOO fast! Took on water at many of the rapids. Also, the take out by the first or second power station is near impossible!!!!! (June 2017) Says Rich B For those that enjoyed the stretch above Hamony Junction, PA, the removal of the dam at that location has caused the stream to lose a lot of it's recreational value.  The creek in the section extending     above Harmony can no longer support canoes - the Wild Waterway Conservancy's (the dam removal owner) intent to put in a canoe boat launch is laughable since there is limited water that is now available for canoeing. Says Frank Hi, an update on this trip... the take-out listed seems to be the old hydro plant in Ellwood City. The trail is very overgrown and the road is another three hundred or so yards carry uphill to the road. The better trip is to continue down the Connie to just under the new bridge (5th street) and take out at the old water treatment plant. You can park close to the water (ask first) on the access road and if you park the shuttle   vehicle right can see it from the water. This would add only a few more minutes to the trip. There is a new outfitter on the water there too, Keystone Sojourns is opening a shop in Ellport for canoe & kayak rentals and they offer a shuttle service too. Phone # is 724-713-2093. Good paddling, Dave Says Dave McQuaid If you're coming from New Castle it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. The Calgon to 2nd treatment plant stretch of Connoquenessing Creek is 6 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater.
