This is not the only paddling section in this river system, there are others too. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. The campgrounds here at Youghiogheny River are pretty good. This stretch of Youghiogheny River in Maryland is 4

for that around here. No need to look hard for hotels, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
