Pennsylvania Angler & Boater - September/October 2014 - 30
FOUR Fun Fall
Pennsylvania
Too many paddlers stow their
boats after Labor Day. Great
and uncrowded paddling
awaits those who venture out
when the fall foliage peaks.
Autumn is a wonderful time to paddle Pennsylvania's rivers
and streams. Fall weather can be invigoratingly perfect,
fishing is good and the ever-changing views of fall foliage
along the way are reasons enough to pick a stream, load the
canoe and launch.
But, fall can be a busy time. With school in session,
yard chores, day-length shortening and the routine
demands on everyone's time, finding opportunities to take
advantage of the great fall paddling we have all over the

in western Pennsylvania. These were selected, because

Releases from the Kinzua Dam at Allegheny Reservoir
make the Allegheny River navigable for canoes all year
long including autumn when flows can be low. Launch at
the Tidioute Borough Access (cooperatively managed by
PFBC), just across the bridge from Route 62 on the west
bank of the river. This appealing 14-mile stretch of the
Allegheny River moves along under high commanding
bluffs within the Allegheny National Forest, splendid in
