Unami Creek
24 miles away
Ive run the reach once.  When I ran the Unami the Perkiomen was at 8,000 cfs, is this the guage you used Don?  Or is there an on site guage somewhere we didnt see.  The two largest rapids were really sic, we portaged the first and I ran the top half of the second and took out in a microeddy before the nar.  Truely an awesome reach, email me sometime at mrz2@lehigh.edu if you plan on running it, Id love to fire it up again....Undercut rocks are the name of the game on this creek. 
The creek is very narrow, boulder-clogged, continuous and flashy. The general rule is that heavy rain in Quakertown will result in paddleable water on the Unami in Sumneytown within three hours.
Read Getler's description and scout all of the rapids prior to running them.
My friends and I have paddled this stretch many times around 1.5 feet and 2.5 feet, which is low and scratchy; if you are going to run it above 3 feet, I'd recommend bomber-creek skills as eddies are few and far between....

Elk Mountain
94 miles away
Elk is uncrowded and really fun. They seem to make the best out off the conditions weather gives them. Good, long trails(for Pa). I liked the mini park. The ''bigger'' park made the best of the space. I surface lift in the park lets you session as long as you want, and stay in the park. Great for dialing in on my skillz. Couple of the rail and box features are really cool. I will go to Elk a couple times a year....
