There's also the Juniata River that flows into the Susquehanna.  It's a
class 1 but negotiable and rather pretty.  You are also in easy driving
distance of the Potomac. There are some stretches above Harpers Ferry which
afford a good long run with opportunities for overnite camping.  Also some
good daytrips on the Potomac starting just below H. F. and going on down to
somewhere above Great Falls.
    Ditto for the South Fork of the Shenandoah, another hour or two down the
interstate.
