Confluence area rivers offer rafting at most all levels. Of course the famous Lower Yough is the mecca for class III and class IV whitewater rafters. The Middle Yough starts in Confluence. This pristine river flows to Ohiopyle through the Middle Yough Gorge, an unpopulated area bounded by State Park and State Game Lands. The river has beaver, otters, mink, as well as different varieties of shore birds and ducks. Fishing is superb for both trout and bass. The Gorge offers a family float trip with small rapids and lots of flatwater for swimming and fishing.
The Middle Yough Gorge is a challenging canoe trip for the novice canoeist. Containing seven class II rapids and lots of moving flat water, people come from all over to test their canoeing skills on the river. Kayakers use the Middle Yough Gorge for beginner to novice level boating.
When the water level is high enough, the Casselman River is also suitable for rafting and kayaking. It has class I to class III rapids north of Confluence, and offers beautiful scenery along the route. Raft kayak and canoe rentals are available in Confluence.
