Hi, all. My brother has asked me to take him on a 4ish day flatwater (Class I) trip (either Kayak or Canoe) in Pennsylvania or perhaps Maryland. We're not looking for a commercial outfitter from which to buy a trip. We want to plan it and take it as just the two of us, or with any P'Wisers who may want to join us. The main issues are ease of the trip, adequate camping locations, beautiful scenery and isolation (at least being out of site from industry and generally developed land) and the possibility for a little decent fishing along the way, but that last issue takes a big back seat to the paddling itself. *************************************************************************** One of the local canoe clubs here is planning a Memorial Day trip on the Clarion River in Western PA -- a tributary of the Allegheny. I haven't been there yet, but the stuff we've been able to find makes it sound pretty good. You already know about the Susquehanna. You might also want to look at the Greenbrier in WV. That's very accessible and can be an easy multiday camping trip. So can the South Fork of the Shenandoah -- problem there is adequate access but much of it flows through National Forest lands where camping is easy to find....
