Stony Kiski-Conemaugh River Sojourn
<< Back
6/3/2010 - 6/6/2010
This trip is an excellent outing for heritage and eco-travelers. The course follows the Kiski-Conemaugh Rivers between Johnstown and Avonmore, in southwestern PA. The trip features remnants of the PA Main Line Canal, stone arch rail road bridges that now host the West Penn Trail and stops in historic towns. Ideal for churches, employee groups, civic and social clubs, families and friends, this Sojourn has appeal for experienced paddlers while catering to first timers. Once among the most polluted waterways in the Commonwealth, these rivers have made an astounding comeback and provide perfect opportunities to become acquainted with river sojourning. For those who want a little extra adventure, an adrenaline packed whitewater trip down the Stonycreek River in northern Somerset/southern Cambria counties is offered on Sunday. You can sign up for all four days or each day individually, but space is limited so please register early.
Registrants will receive a confirmation packet including a more detailed itinerary, camping and other lodging options, meal information, directions, preparation checklists and more. And yes, you can participate even if you do not have a canoe or kayak. We know several outfitters who will provide canoes, paddles, helmets & jackets for a small additional fee. More information about the sojourn is provided in the attached brochure, and more information regarding outfitters will be provided in a confirmation packet that will be sent to you following receipt of your registration.
