Middle Allegheny Trip - Help?
Here's the scenario: 7/22-7/25, three oldtimers - all brothers - returning to the "scene of the crime": The place where my parents used to take us 50 years ago, Oleopolis (just around the corner from Henry's Bend) where granny had a cottage. So happy to hear that casinos or other development don't dot the banks of the Mighty Allegheny - and that there is no offshore drilling (lol). I've gotten some good advice from another forum, now I'll try this one. We are staying in President in a cabin. How do we best get the three of us (total weight about 300 lbs) downriver from President to Oleopolis. We have a 12' flatbottom jon boat which we can either bring or leave at home (in the Baltimore area)? So far, we are considering canoe, raft, and float tube. Is the terrain walkable along the shoreline from our end point back to starting point? It looks like about 4 miles on the map. Are we better off wade-fishing this stretch of river? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
