I'm pretty sure these guys have a good shuttle service and can advise you best.

Status: offline 		Forget putting in at McKeesport unless you want your kayak to smell like crap after you get so far upriver.  Yes, Elizabeth Township is still pouring millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Yough.  They are turning that stretch from Buena Vista to about Alpsville into a cesspool. It has the best fed and greenest algae the Yough River has to offer.  It is fairly watered down by the time it gets to little Boston but I still wouldn't want to swim in it. And don't forget the alligators.  A couple of years ago (or maybe last year) a guy I know caught an Alligator in the Yough under the Boston Bridge.

Status: online 		I'd try Glade Run Lake. Now I can't give you a up-to-date status of the lake, because I haven't been there in a month but its a very good trout lake, and known for having a large population of bass. They stock it 2-3 times a year with rainbows down by the dock, and branch of towards the middle of the lake normally. It is a very big lake! Yet is almost under fished for its conditions. Give it a try!
