Hi, not very timely, but I’m also in the Philadelphia suburbs. When there’s rain, I try to get out on the Perkiomen or Neshaminy. When there isn’t, I do the Schuylkill or Delaware. I’m slightly more active on the Packrafting USA facebook group, or reddit.com/r/packrafting, but I try to remember to check here once in a while.
I’m also a big fan of the adks, the greens, and whites, though I’ve been getting out there less regularly now.

Hi! I’m in the Baltimore area so not too far from SE PA. I am also interested in calm water trips, (probably up to class II for me), flat water, as well as bikerafting, overnights & multi-day trips, and of course day trips as well. Happy to travel a few hours as well. I’ve not been packrafting before, I just ordered my boat and I am waiting for it to arrive, but I’ve been kayaking a bunch this summer and went white water rafting with a guided group through the Grand Canyon in May. Would love to connect with people in the area about doing some trips!
The Susquehanna is about halfway between us, with plenty of calm water. Also has island camping options, which I haven’t done yet, but have been meaning to. Let’s meet up, I’ll send you a DM.
