Description
Because of the length of this section, it is usually done as an overnight canoe camper with an overnight camp stop at Sorrel Ridge C&O Canal Campground (7.3 miles below the Paw Paw access).  This also gives the canoe camper a chance to explore the C&O Canal Paw Paw Tunnel.   River Access (put-in or take-out) is available at Bonds Landing (11.4 miles below Paw Paw).  Campgrounds below Sorrel Ridge include:  Stickpile Hill C&O hiker/biker (12.1 miles below Paw Paw) and  Devils Alley C&O hiker/biker (17 miles below Paw Paw).  Take-out is at the mouth of Fifteen mile creek at Little Orleans, MD (21.7 miles below Paw Paw).
