CLASS I-II 4.5 miles
This stretch of Broad Creek in Harford County is 4.5 miles long and is a class I-II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The starting location is a short drive from Lancaster, as you can see on the road map further down. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. This is the only paddling section along Broad Creek. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of
people. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The beautiful
scenery of Harford County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. The campgrounds here at Broad Creek are pretty good.
