Maryland whitewater, Antietam Creek Washington county, Oak Bridge to Highway 68 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-II     7 miles   Wow, I live on Little Antietam and the creek seemed at normal level so we went to Funkstown and dropped our canoe in. It was great.  My husband was fishing and I was just enjoying the ride.  Just after we passed the area that is closest to Alt 40 and Cool Hollow Rd we hit rock.  For the next 3 hours we scooted, pushed and walked till we hit the bridge on Barnes Rd.  What a drag.  If the water fall shown is past that I guess I'll never see     it. this is a very nice stretch that also offers good fishing.  I guide smallmouth and trout fishing by kayak on this stretch and the 7 miles downstream.  Feel free to contact me for free info or to book a scenic paddle or fishing trip.  I've got lots of kayaks and canoes and all the gear.  info@fishnfloatadventures.com.  301-432-8469.  Here is a pic of one of my favorite spots. Says Dan Hodkinson (see picture) This section of Antietam Creek is 7 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I-II section of whitewater. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Maryland are often easier than in other states, so don't   forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. This is a pretty decent length section, it's perfect for a one day trip. Getting your paddling muscles activated and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Oak Bridge to Highway 68 stretch is just one of them. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. If you're coming from Hagerstown-Martinsburg it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down.
