The scenic beauty of Pennsylvania and the cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. The put-in location is a short drive from East Stroudsburg, as you can see on the road map further down. The Keokee Chapel Lane to mouth stretch of Paradise Creek in Pennsylvania is 7.7 miles long and is a class III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This stretch is mid length, it's good length for a morning trip. A bit of exercise |
and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often easier than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are
| less demanding. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the Keokee Chapel Lane to mouth section is one of them. For all you camping | |
|
people there are campgrounds nearby.
Briefly about the general area: Alpine Mountain has fine slopes and a friendly staff, and going for a hike on the Indian Trail is always a good adventure. Here at Paradise
Creek you'll probably meet some people from Henryville, and there are good spots to explore along the Camelback Trail. If you come to this river you will have a good time for sure. Tobyhanna State Park is a perfect place
to stretch your legs a bit, and since you're here, you might as well have a look at Redrock Glen. It's always good to have a look at Paradise Falls; Paradise Creek is in the neighborhood of Big Pocono State Park which is a beautiful site.
