Shenandoah
Staircase
Advanced Beginner / Low Intermediate (Class II-III)
Only a couple of hours from home, the Shenandoah is a great first river
to explore. This is a river of ledges, some higher, which will require
scouting before running, and others smaller forming small hydraulics
which are great fun to play. You will drive home with a wealth of memories
of paddling and playing the river and a lot of practice rolling. The
flow of the Shenandoah is not dam controlled, so trips are dependent
upon sufficient rain fall. AW

North Branch of the Potomac
Advanced Beginner / Low Intermediate (Class II-III)
The North Branch, about 2.5 hours outside of D.C., beyond Cumberland,
MD, is just maybe a slight notch more difficult than the Shenandoah.
The dam-released water is fast and quite cold, even in the summer. You
should be well dressed in order to fully enjoy the waves and surfing
spots down this small headwaters of the Potomac River. AW
