    this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great
campgrounds nearby. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camp stove. This is the only paddling stretch along Fourmile Run. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
