Jewel of the West Branch Guided Kayak Trip

Enjoy the companionship of other friendly paddlers as you watch for riverside wildlife, improve your paddling skills, and learn about local history! This trip is 8 river miles between Montoursville & Muncy with an island rest stop mid-way. We meet at the Muncy River Access a few minutes before 2 pm where you will park your vehicle and board our bus for the pre-trip shuttle to the put-in at Montoursville.

After unloading gear & receiving paddling instruction, we begin our paddle with practice in a forgiving pool before heading downstream and around the bend into an area without roads, just pools and gentle drops. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagle sightings, experience body surfing a riffle at the snack spot, cool off new friends with our complementary water blasters, bask in the peace of the river, and notice the V of the pre-historic eel weirs as you make your way around their riffles. As we approach Muncy you will get to see an impressive example of a canal wall from the early 1800’s.

Cost: $55/person. If you plan to use a Canoe Susquehanna kayak, please review the Our Canoes and Kayaks page to help you decide which model you would prefer to use.
