Boats
Hop in a boat and enjoy a hassle-free float on the beautiful Pine Creek. We offer kayaks, canoes, and rafts! Boat availability is water level dependent, as Pine Creek is a natural rain fed waterway and our main goal is to ensure you have the best time possible.
Upper Pine (Class I-II) is the perfect stretch of Pine Creek for anyone looking to get amazing views and can be anywhere from 2-5 hours on the water. This trip includes a shuttle upstream to one of four locations: Rexford (5 miles); Gaines (8 miles); Watrous (10 miles); or Galeton (13 miles).
Full day rentals are great for someone looking to take one of our boats with them (self transport) or can be paired with a shuttle. See Shuttle Services for more information.
If you want the camping experience of a lifetime, we offer multi-day rentals and can arrange either a return shuttle or a vehicle shuttle when you take out downstream (see Shuttle Services for more info). Primitive camping (with a camping permit from PA DCNR’s Bureau of Forestry) is available at many locations in the PA Grand Canyon and at several locations in the Pine Creek Valley.
*Boat rentals are best paired with an afternoon pickup*
