Montgomery
county,
River Road to Potomac section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The wonderful Montgomery County scenery and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. 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 quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either
way this area has a large number of paddling spots. This is a short paddling stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. Cabin John Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the River Road to Potomac section is the only one. Getting some good exercise and just being out
on the river for a while are great reasons to come. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
