: Deano ~ can you provide some more details?

: Would this part of the river be okay for an 18' sea kayak or would
: it be better to have something shorter?
: I google-earthed the route and this stretch of the Allegheny looks
: particularly fine for paddling.

: Any additional tips would be much appreciated.
: THANKS

The sea kayak would be fine... I did it in a Necky Chatham 17... there are a few class nothing rapids along the way... the rocks are big, and obvious... so you could even take a high dollar kevlar or cedar strip boat on that stretch and not worry about dinging it...
