It's OK but nothing like the options you have in Portland. I think the river has been cleaned up in recent years. It used to be pretty polluted. Strip mine runoff killed at the fish in the West Branch years ago and there was a lot of heavy industrial run-off. There are islands for camping in many areas so multi-day trips are possible. The Atlantic and Cheasapeake Bay are within reasonable distance . Personally- I'd stay put!! No offence to you PA paddlewisers Walt Park City, UT (low humidity and mountains but limited big water) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Sep 19 1999 - 15:58:49 PDT
