This stretch of Sideling Hill Creek in Allegany / Washington County is 27 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I-II section of whitewater. The beautiful scenery of Maryland and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so why |
not pack your camping stuff too. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Maryland are easier than the national norm, so keep in mind that quite a few of the sections in this state are pretty easy. There are a few other
| sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. If you're coming from Winchester it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. | |
