The Pleasantville Road to Maryland Route 7 stretch of Winters Run in Maryland is 13 miles long and is a class I-II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The wonderful Maryland scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Winters Run are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than
    the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling spots. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds
nearby. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your camp stove. There are some good hotels near the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This is the only paddling stretch along Winters Run.
