  • Join me on an unforgettable journey down the Allegheny River in my Wenonah Prospector 15 canoe! In this video, I embark on a 2-day, 1-night solo expedition, paddling through stunning landscapes and camping on a remote island nestled in the heart of the river.
    Experience the tranquility of paddling along the Allegheny River, surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of nature. Watch as I set up camp on a secluded island, pitching my tent and preparing a delicious meal over a crackling campfire. From cooking by the riverbank to capturing breathtaking views, this trip is a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

    I just completed a solo canoe trip of the Allegheny from Coudersport, PA to the Ohio river in Pittsburgh, PA. I started May 29th and completed the 311 miles on June 21st.
    2024. It was a journey of a life time. I passed Buckaloons two days ahead of you.

      That’s amazing! That trip is definitely on the bucket list for me. How was dealing with the locks and dams as you got down closer to Pittsburgh?

      @@SideKickExplorer Locks were no problem but you must follow their schedule of operations. Kinzua Dam required that I pre-arrange a portage date with the Army Corp of Engineers. They picked me up with a truck on the reservoir side then transported me over the dam and into the river immediately below the dam.

      @@Owenkicker I averaged about 13 miles per day. My biggest day was about 30.5 miles and my shortest day was only 3.7 miles. I was not trying to break any records. If I were to do it over, which I would love to do, I would take more time.
