The Clarion River – Toby Hill Boat Launch
A 52-mile stretch of the Clarion River was designated a National Wild and Scenic River in 1996, including 17 scenic miles through Clarion County. The Clarion is a premier destination for canoeists, kayakers, paddle boarders, swimmers, and tubers. During periods of high water, the river has some Class 1 & 2 rapids, which experienced paddlers enjoy. The river forms the reservoir of the Brookfield Power dam above Clarion Borough, and provides exceptional power boating and water sport opportunities. The Clarion is also popular for small mouth bass and trophy brown trout fishing.
