Hi Gang,
My sons BSA troop is hoping to do a canoe trip throuogh the PA Grand Canyon in late (3rd week) August. I said I'd look into the logistics. Other than suggesting we may need to take some water, and that I have stayed at Pettycoat Jucntion once for a Jamboree, I know nothing about the area upstream of Cedar and downstream of Galeton. (ie; The PA Grand Canyon)
Some of you live around there, Could ya help a handfula flatlanders with the float details? We will be there from Weds thru Sunday, Floating Three days. (8/16, 17, 18). We will be hauling canoes there so that is not an issue. What about shuttles? Maybe someone would like to make $20 to take us back to the cars?
1. Where can we put in/take out?
2. Is there camping allowed along the river (outside of campgrounds).
3. What are some of the distances between Launch points?
We will also be working on the Fly Fishing and Fishing Merit Badges during the trip so fishing suggestions although not a priority are welcome. (I think I can figure that one out)
Anyway, just looking to jump-start my research. PM, me, answer here, give websites suggestions, etc.
Thanks in advance for your help.
