Allegheny River Trip
/A few of us headed up north to paddle the Allegheny River on Saturday. The weather was absolutely beautiful, the river level was perfect, and the water was so clear you could see the river bottom flying by on the swifter sections. Plus the 18 mile stretch of river we paddled, from Kennerdell to Emlenton, is one of the most scenic areas of the Allegheny and my personal favorite. It was an incredible day on the water.
