The Juniata River Sojourn is an annual, multi-day canoe and kayak trip on the Juniata River. Why hold a sojourn? To promote river stewardship and local natural resource awareness! Attendees participate in a variety of daily and nightly programs ranging from presentations on local history, watershed science, art, and culture, to campfire sing-a-longs, folk music performances, and dancing.
The 2012 annual sojourn will be held on the Frankstown/Little Juniata Branches and will be held from June 15 to 20.
Registrations will open in April
More information to follow as details are planned.
Participants can register for the whole week, one or several days of your choosing. Registration fees include meals for the day on the river (breakfast, lunch and dinner), safety instruction, programs along the way, and group camping in the evening. Also included are professional river guides and morning shuttles to station your vehicle at the take out location. You can provide your own canoe or kayak or rent one for the Sojourn from Rothrock Outfitters.

The sojourn not only offers a great week of paddling but also presents a chance to celebrate our river communities! You learn about local history and current river conservation projects. Even if you are not an experienced paddler, but want to join in on the fun, you can attend the daily and nightly programs which are all open to the public!
