Kayaking and Tubing
Adventure on the Creek
Penns Creek offers fun for the whole family. Kayaking and tubing are some of the favorite adventures on the creek. Catching frogs and salamanders, exploring the shore for wildflowers and crazy creatures like Hellgramites are also some favorite activities. Children also like to try and catch their own live bait (to be used in other sections downstream where trout are stocked regularly throughout April – October).
