Pennsylvania's most beloved canoe river outside of the Delaware — 120 miles through the Allegheny National Forest with the Clarion River Gorge delivering Class I–III paddling through a remote hemlock and hardwood canyon. Designated a National Wild & Scenic River in 1996. Outstanding smallmouth bass fishing, multiple primitive campsites, and genuine Allegheny backcountry solitude.
