Trip Overview

Put in at Union Deposit access at Swatara Park. River was a little low since there has been very little rain but we never had to get out and portage.

Took a 3 hour trip down and exited off Swatara Creek Road just north of Middletown. Excellent scenery. A few low class rapids along the way to keep things fun.

I will kayak this creek again.
