What a difference a week makes. The river has risen to 6.6 feet. This makes for some fun kayaking on the upper half of the river. The Avonmore to Roaring Run section is a blast at this level. Evelyn and I can’t wait to hit the rapids! It is tough to fish when the water comes up but the mouths of the creeks are excellent as the fish will go up into the mouth to get out of the current. This weekend will be a lot of fun due to the Avonmore Harvest Jubilee and the Kiski River Fishing Tournament. The Avonmore Festival starts on Friday and goes until Sunday evening. The food, parade, fireworks and friends are one of the best times of the year. The fishing tournament is sponsored and held at the Roaring Run Watershed Association trail. We (Evelyn and I are members) are celebrating 25 years as an organization! This tournament will be the biggest yet! The prizes total over $1000.00 and The River’s Edge is giving away 2 canoe trips. Fall is here and the water is calling. Hope to see you on the water!
The River’s up!

Still trying to get our bunch out there. Had such a good time last year, time to go again.

Looking at your site makes me miss PA so much! I can’t wait to come back and visit so that River’s Edge can get me out there in a kayak. I’ve lived in CA for 25 years, but PA will always be my home.

I’ve been on rafting trips throughout the world, and nothing compares to the Kiski. What a discovery? Neil and Evelyn at The River’s Edge are so knowedgeable and accommodating. For those who live in Western PA, you have a phenomenal river experience in your back yard. The Kiski is a beautiful river with a rich and storied history. For that matter, anyone in the country would be hard-pressed to find a destination spot for a vacation, as the whole area is filled with interesting historic sites and beautiful countryside. The River’s Edge gets 5 stars!!!!!
