Flintstone Creek Road to Town Creek section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-III 3.5 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Maryland are easier than the national norm, so better not forget that the rivers in this state are less demanding. This section of Flintstone Creek is 3.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-III section. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This is a pretty short section so better bring some good walking shoes. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Cumberland, as you can see on the road map further down. The Flintstone Creek Road to Town Creek stretch is the
only paddling stretch along Flintstone Creek. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The wonderful Maryland scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Flintstone Creek
are reasons enough to come here and paddle. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good rivers.
