: I have done it... several times... both leisurely in canoes, and
: quicker in a kayak. But if you're new to paddling, try the
: Titioute to Tionesta trip as a starter... you can do it in one
: long day, or can you putz and spend the night on islands half
: way... and there are no locks/dams to portage around...

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
