Pennsylvania whitewater, Muddy Creek - Slippery Rock Tributary

Lawrence county, to Slippery Rock Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     0.35 miles
 
I used to live off the creek. My grandfather had a home 'Tomahawk' just below the bridge. I canoed this creek many times as a child. And unless the creek has become more 'violent' rafting is not difficult. It takes some know how, but not an expert. It's great fun. We did it in a canoe, rafting should be a breeze. Says Lynne Snyder

There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the to Slippery Rock Creek section is one of them. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of spots for that. The nature scenery of Pennsylvania and the cool  
fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more.
