> I understand that it's very interesting and might make an excellent day trip > from eastern PA. > --Certainly is. The rivers there are classed as Brown Water (bw) rather than Flat water (fw) because there is usually an active flow with many twists and turns, so your maneuvering and river reading skills are emphasized. Usually a lot of strainers too. Sea kayaks don't work too well, recreational kayaks are about the right length. Whitewater boats are generally workable here. Check out Ed Gertler's Garden State canoeing or Robert Parnes' Canoeing the Pine Barrens. Both have come out recently in newer editions. Mohawk Canoe Club and Philadelphia CC have a lot of these rivers on their schedules. Also Lehigh Valley Canoe Club. Most popular are the Wading River, Cedar Creek, Mullica, Batsto, Great Egg Harbor and the Maurice. Lots of liveries in the area, so solo trips might be arranged. Mohawk will have its annual New Years Day trip on Cedar Creek...
