Heading to Allegheny National Forest

Hello!
I have a 4 week trip, in September, planned from Indiana to Golden Hill State Park in New York and back to Indiana. Have campsites reserved at Mohican State Park in Ohio, Tionesta Lake, in Pennsylvania, just on the southern edge of Allegheny NF, then on to Golden Hill State Park on the shore of Lake Ontario, and then to Red Bridge Recreation Area in Allegheny NF and then back to Mohican, and home to Indiana.
I am a widow and camp by myself.
Would love any comments on how hard the towing (steep incline and down hills) might be through Pennsylvania in and around the Allegheny National Forest.
Am interested in kayaking as much as possible as well, so any info on that would be helpful as well.
Any other thoughts that might be helpful would be appreciated too!
Fairly new to these longer trips and venturing out of state. So far have done Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee.
Thanks for any help!

  • Thank you all so much! I always wear a PFD and so does my dog! I will look on line to get the pass, I wondered about launch fees and park entrance fees. I have a sit on top Kayak, so hope the waters will be warm enough by end of August. I sure am looking forward to this trip!
    Thanks again!

  • If you want some primo flatwater paddling, check out the Adirondacks in northern NY.

    I don't know how much time you have planned for Mohican, but there is a flat river that runs through the campground. My son kayaks it frequently.
