C'mon Ian, you've been talking about this for years...

Inn to, er, Riverhouse, along the Allegheny River: Coudesport to Salamanca

Note:This is the first part of a grand project to map out an inn-to-inn route for the entire Allegheny and Ohio River.  Please feel free to contribute if you know stretches of the river(s).  

The idea was simple.  Start as high up on the Allegheny River as I could float my kayak and hope to find lodging in the towns along the way.  I was prepared to camp a night or two if it came to that,  but as usual I hoped to find a bed with sheets and a shower with hot water.

All the Way Around Paradise

Islands make for great inn-to-inn adventures because you never have to retrace your steps if you don't want to. They provide the perfect loop trails. Despite an unconscionable proportion of "private beach" signs, Martha's Vineyard is pretty much the ideal island for a two or three or eight-day walk. It's not only because we are partial to the place that we believe this. At 112 square miles, the Vineyard is laced with waterfront bike trails, wooded walking paths, white sand beaches, and towns conveniently placed about six miles apart, each with a different vibe.
