Hard to tell with the Yough. Because of the dam. Except for the Casselman that flows into the Yough, there isn't a lot feeding it. Spring is probably pretty good as anywhere but not sure if it would make a significant difference as the feeder streams aren't that big. The Casselman might run a little deeper that time of year that could help out. But I think the big help is when they have a larger release at the damn and I am guessing that happens based on the rain through the year. I understand they just had one back in August. Probably a followup release for all of the rain we got in June. I need to look into this more to see if there is a way to know when the release is scheduled.

There is also the upper Yough which is the section below Ohiopyle but that requires a lot more skill, Mainly Class 3 and 4. There is a famous rock on that section called Dimple Rock. It creates a hydraulic that sucks you in. So many people have died and been hurt there, they actually installed a phone and backboard on shore.


And if you really want excitement, you can go over the falls but that occurs only 1 weekend a year (I think). Saw it two weeks ago






The section downriver from Confluence is enough excitement for me for now.
