Allegheny National Forest/Niagara Falls

Mohican and Allegheny are beautiful. You'll probably have some partiers on the weekend in Mohican, I had some even in mid-February! As far as the kayak, Mohican river doesn't have much of a headwater so the river level will be completely dependent on how much rain we've had, but typically late August will be low enough that you'll be hitting the rocky bottom (better tubing or canoeing in late spring most years, though it's already down to 2.2' because of above normal temps and low rainfall).
