Little J

[salmo]

I'm planning a trip to the Little J at the very end of April. I didn't realize it was south and west of State College. I'm looking for a cabin rental. Is Heston a good location? How far from Hesston to Spring Creek? What other creeks are in the area? Any brookie streams nearby? Thanks for any input as always. PMs are invited.

Hesston would be better if you wished to explore Raystown Lake.

If you're seeking to hit the Little Juniata with a possible trip to Spring Creek, look further north at points closer to State College. For a cabin, think around Spruce Creek (which is on the little J) or up around Pine Grove Mills which is between the LJ and Spring Cr. Depending on where exactly you're planning to fish, the distance between the LJ and Spring Creek is about an hour.

There is a vast section of mountains between the LJ and State College with much of it part of Rothrock State Forest where you can explore many small streams for brookies.

Thanks Dale, but I was hoping to have a facility that had water inside and a kitchen. My other option may be a bed and breakfast.
