"... seven miles downstream on the Youghogheny River - Dawson PA to Perryopolis. Had to make an unplanned switch from canoe to twin kayak. It took some help. Overall the experience was memorable and calming. ... there were only a few rapids, none of them that fast or furious, but some had challenging rocks. Oopsy Daisy ! And the phone survived. Thanks to the two man rescue team from Hazelbaker (Max and Quay) who paddled up in and switched me over to a nice heavy weight two man kayak. But first they gave me a ten minute tutorial on kayaking and a pep talk. Thanks also to the couple from Pitt"

"One of my favorite places in the world. The staff are great, the float is beautiful, and vibe is right! Just make sure to get there 30 minutes early AT MINIMUM and remember your ID at the end and you’re good to go 👌"

"One and only time I w ever gone canoeing and had so much fun! 7 miles went by quickly, with 2 adults and our 7 year old and my having never done this before and didn't know what to do at all, it took about 2.5 hours to go downstream 7 miles. We'll be back to do it again, possibly in kayaks the next time and will probably take little breaks and get out along the way. The water levels weren't too high or too low and we did hit some rapids but, knowing how to get through them from someone experienced made a huge difference. We certainly recommend this to anyone needing something to do on the week"
