Maryland whitewater - Gunpowder Falls, Baltimore County Baltimore county, Graves Run Road to Prettyboy Reservoir section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     2 miles   OK so after checking this one out today I was sorely disappointed. it is in no way a II-III, more like a slow moving I, not even a I-II. Also the put in location is on some private property farm so good luck getting in the water at some point where the river isn't congested down into drainage ditches going under the small roads in this area. I highly recommend some of the other gunpowder rivers however, great fun, just not this stretch. Says Rudyrudell The beautiful scenery of Baltimore County and the beautiful way the water current moves down     the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle.
