Canoeing and Camping...Just Go Do It!


Adirondacks/


Learning how to canoe could become a life long hobby. Combine canoeing with camping and you've discovered a combination that cannot be surpassed in the eyes of many. Canoe camping allows one to discover places that were previously only imagined. If standing on the shore of a river or lake ever sparked your sense of adventure, then canoe camping might actually take you there. It's not difficult to learn, and whether you paddle solo or with the entire family, canoeing and camping will provide a lifetime of experience and adventure.


Some of the waters we canoe, camp and kayak are the Adirondacks, the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, the Delaware River, and the New Jersey Pine Barrens. And we paddle new locations every season, so you'll always find fresh information to get you started on a new canoe camping experience.



Pennsylvania

Pine Creek is located in Tioga County and is one of Pennsylvania’s most popular canoeing creeks. There are three sections to Pine Creek with the most popular section running through what is known as the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. As Pine Creek winds its way through the canyon you will experience great scenery, wildlife, fast flowing current, and slower pools of calm water that provide great opportunity for trout fishing. Read more about canoeing Pine Creek.





Adirondacks

The St. Regis Canoe Area offers some of the best canoe camping in New York. The area contains 58 bodies of water and is a place where a canoeist can escape to serene canoe camping experience rarely found in today’s bustling civilization. And once you experience the call of the loons, the pristine beauty, the unparalleled wildlife viewing, the many portages will become a minor inconvenience.

Susquehanna

The West Branch of the Susquehanna is an excellent canoe camping river winding through the beautiful mountains of Pennsylvania, and is possibly Pennsylvania's best kept canoe camping secret. On this river you will be far removed from the noise and traffic present on other rivers. On the West Branch you get a taste of real wilderness canoe camping.
