Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Pennsylvania is often easier than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the sections in this state are safe for beginners. The wonderful Pennsylvania scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The starting point is not too far from Somerset, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. |
This is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. There are a few other sections
| in this river system that can be paddled as well. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. This stretch of Indian Creek is 4.9 miles long and it is classified as a class III-IV(V) | |

section by American Whitewater.
Briefly about the general area: Skiing at Seven Springs is one of those things you just must do, and Indian Creek Gorge is a delightful site to spend some time. Go for a hike on
the Great Gorge Trail, and you're sure to encounter some cheerful folks from Mill Run here. This river is a great place to visit. Don't leave Indian Creek without first going for a hike along the Mile Trail. The amount of
precipitation that falls at Indian Creek is close to the national average. The month of May is the wettest with most of the rain; the driest of the months is February.
