About This Access Site
The Gorman take-out is located on the North Branch Potomac River near the Maryland-West Virginia border in Garrett County. This is a whitewater take-out point commonly used by paddlers finishing runs on the North Branch, which features moderate to challenging rapids and fast-moving water typical of this section of the river. The site provides access to the river for take-out purposes, making it a useful endpoint for kayakers and canoeists running whitewater sections upstream. Given its location on a fast-flowing river known for whitewater activity, this take-out is best suited for paddlers with intermediate to advanced skills who are comfortable with moving water and rapids.
