Description
At this Class I+ ledge on Antietam Creek, paddlers will encounter a small drop with potential for moderate hydraulic features depending on water levels. The rapid requires careful navigation through a rocky constriction, with the main line running center-right to avoid potential shallow spots and isolated rocks that could create pin hazards at lower water levels.
