Well to transport a narrowboat to a river would be the issue Pennsylvania law limits the size of trailers "Total length: 75 feet (includes bumpers); trailer length: not specified; width: 102 inches (mirrors and sun shades may extend up to 6 inches on each side of vehicle); height: 13 feet 6 inches." Even our larger Tractor Trailers are around 73 feet and that is the whole thing, so the longest narrowboat that could be transported without a large verity if permits would probably be 45 feet or so and I am guessing it would still be considered overweight. It may be able to be brought up from Louisiana via the Mississippi river to the Ohio river then to the Allegheny river in Pittsburgh but the cost alone is staggering and I am not even sure if you may have to have it brought on a barge. The Mississippi may be to swift for them(narrowboats)! still researching though! I have heard a few daring people crossing the channel in them so it needs some think through.

I think Traditional narrowboats would work wonders in some of our smaller calmer rivers , like maybe the Kiski River here in Pennsylvania, the question though is it deep enough? (average depth 3 to 5 feet ( .914 meters to 1.524 meters))
