A good deal of rain falls at North Fork Reservoir; the wettest month of the year is mostly July, that's the one that rains the most while February is the month with the least amount of precipitation. This lake is so wonderful. Good hiking is available along the Clark Run Trail, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend

Conemaugh River
I live on the Conemaugh and have been canoeing and kayaking here for about 4 years now.  It is mostly a calm river but there are a few portions that can test you. The river is pretty much manageable at any time of year but take caution after rains because it can turn into a raging torrent in just a little while.  Also if you are into fishing their are many good spot all along the river. Bass, trout, carp, perch, Muskie and even pike can all be caught if you talk to any of the locals they will probably lead you in the right direction.  A final note, if you are looking for a place to launch/pull out don't be afraid to talk to a local land owner and ask for permission. Most will say yes or else help you find a good place to go....
