Tippy-Top section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV 4 miles
The Tippy-Top stretch of Youghiogheny River in Maryland is 4 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class IV section. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often easier than elsewhere, so better not forget that the rivers in this state are less demanding. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. There are many good hotels to choose from, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. On this section you do get some distance, you can easily run it on
an afternoon. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. The wonderful Maryland scenery and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. This is not the only
paddling section in this river system, there are others too.
Briefly about the general area: Oak Shoals is a great local attraction; Tolliver Falls is a wonderful location to pop by while you're at Youghiogheny River. All the water falling down from the sky makes Youghiogheny River a wet site; July is the wettest month with most rain; February meanwhile is the driest month.
