Berkeley/ Morgan county, Sleepy Creek Dam to CR9 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-V     9.9 miles
 
Looking for someone who has paddled this section. Want more details for drop off and how long it took. Was water rough, good for kids age 12 and above? Says Engle

The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Hagerstown-Martinsburg, as you can see on the road map further down. The scenic beauty of West Virginia and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance
    then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, good for a one day paddling trip. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state
than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The Sleepy Creek Dam to CR9 stretch of Sleepy Creek - Meadow Branch in Berkeley/ Morgan County is 9.9 miles long and is a class II-V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater.
