In this section of Pine Creek Valley.com, you'll find information about canoe access areas thoughout the valley. Here you'll find where you can launch your canoe in Pine Creek and where
you may be able to park your vehicle to exit the water. I started at the Jersey Shore Access area on the Susquehanna River because this is a popular spot to exit the water. There is public parking nearby and
it is rather easy to get in and out. Also, the mouth of Pine Creek is not far from this location. From here I'll drive up the Pine Creek Valley and give you driving distances to other places you
can enter and exit Pine Creek. I hope to give you an idea of how far it is to each point to make it easier for you to plan your canoeing or floating trip accordingly. I know from many years of floating on
Pine Creek that it can be difficult to determine where to get out. I'll also try to give some idea on how swift the water can be in areas that I am familiar with. Again, I hope this helps and Thank
You for visiting Pine Creek Valley.com!
