Hi all,

I'm looking to schedule a day-long,
NON-whitewater (family & friends with kids along) kayaking trip
in the central/SW Pennsylvania or nearby West Virginia/MD area.

Basically a "canoe trip", using kayaks. Downstream.

I have an Amtrak-related question about whether we can take
the train back to DC at the end of our trip (see below).

We can camp at beginning and/or end, so more than a day trip,
but probably not more than 40 or so miles from start camp to
end camp, I'm guessing.

Looking for a one day trip (one to two nights camping, with
primarily a day's worth of kayaking imbetween) with good views
of the mountains, and nearby sights to see (presumably via car)
in the vicinity of the start or end point.

Paw-Paw West Virginia to Little Orleans, Maryland, on the stretch of
Potomac between Cumberland and Hancock. Usually a two-day canoe trip,
but considerably shorter than 40 miles.
