Approx. 1970. Myself and a friend decided to spend a few hours slowly rafting down the Codorus putting in at My Zion Road. Relaxing and a little dull until we heard the thunder of what we soon discovered was the roar of rapids. The big rock was named Schoolhouse Rock. A wild ride. Had to do it again. Says Michael Landis
Very good intro to whitewater, 7/27/15. 2.47', plenty of action for a novice and a beginning intermediate, class |
II - III, plenty of nice holes, large rocks, last second decision making, creekwide ledges, large waves, nice scenery, large herons. Dirtier, smelly water and air at put-in next to wastewater plant, not pleasant at that
| point, but dissipates quickly and improved water quality. Provided plenty of rock n'roll, drops of several feet are numerous, lots of fun. Make sure to use your skirt and PFD, as the likelihood of swamping is pretty high without. A helmet is a good idea, too, as you are likely to be bouncing off large boulders mid-stream. Worth a visit , and in coming back. Says Steve Kos
Tree down 1/2 of a mile from drop in spot. Stay left. Says | |

This section of Codorus Creek in York County is 4.4 miles long and has been rated as a class II(III) section by American Whitewater. If you're coming from York-Hanover it's not a long drive at all to the
put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great attractions for lots of people. This stretch is mid length, you can easily run it
on an afternoon. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
