Outback Adventures, PA

OUTBACK ADVENTURES has been renting canoes since 1993. We are one of the largest canoe

and kayak rentals on the Allegheny River, if not the largest. We now have 80 Old Town Discovery 169

Canoes in our livery. We have also been renting kayaks for 19 years and have over 60 kayaks in our stable,

giving us the largest number and selection in the area. We are located at the southern edge of the Allegheny

National Forest, which gives you full access to the Allegheny National Forest River Wilderness Canoe Trail. This is important when

selecting a livery because there are no pickups, you end up back at your car, whether taking a 2 hour or a 3 day

trip, (no waiting for someone to pick you up). All islands are part of the Allegheny National Forest and provide excellent camping.

The river is dam controlled and remains floatable all summer.

ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST CANOE and KAYAK TRIPS

We start our season in April and run through October. April and early May is the best time for the smaller streams that are only accessible during the Spring. The Tionesta Creek, in the ANF, offers excellent fishing, bird-watching, and abundant wildlife in pristine natural settings. This stream is also great for kayaking. During the summer months, the Allegheny River is perfect for all your outdoor recreation. The Allegheny maintains a perfect water level for canoeing and kayaking. The many Allegheny National Forest islands provide great camping for overnight trips. We offer 2-5 hour day trips and also 2 and 3 day overnight trips, all ending up back at your car. Our hike-float trips let you explore the forest by foot to the river, then complete your adventure by canoe. We also have available lodging, Tipi camping along the river, tent camping, RV hook-ups and primitive campsites.

Kids love kayaking!

The Allegheny River's Class I, placid waters, and our recreational kayaks, make it perfect for beginners. For a one on one adventure with nature, the kayak is a great way for the solo fisherman to get away, and fishing on the Allegheny is great. We have smallmouth bass, walleye, muskie, trout, and pike. Turkey and whitetail hunting trips are available.
