Little Juniata River
Designation: no class -> class 2
Shuttles: yes- check the chart

Description:  Locally dubbed "the little J," this scenic stretch of river is a great introductory into light whitewater. With several play holes forming between Irish flats and the Quarry above Spruce Creek at decent flow. At high flow the river creeps from the banks and begins to pull in all sorts of logs and other debris. Great fun for the moderately experienced paddler. Can be challenging for folks on there first time with several cross cuts and small ledges requiring the ability to read the water

Best time to paddle it:   October-January    late March- first week in June

Great Trough Creek
Designation:  class 2-3
Shuttles:   if requested

Description:  Trough creek is about as much fun as we have on the water in Huntingdon county. With some fun little pour overs, several cross cuts, and a number of large under cuts, this is a stream that needs to be paddled with caution. It comes up about as fast as it rains and drains just as quickly. You'll have to be a gauge hawk to hit this one right. 

Best time to paddle it:  October-January    Mid February-April

Gauge explained:  400 CFS is absolute minimum, 700 is good, 1200, is great, 2000+ hairy.
