Back Creek
 | i do not agree with the II(III) rating of the creek. it is similar in difficulty to nearby sleepy creek and i have no problems paddling this section going upstream (in low water) as well as down. there is also a much more convenient take out at Rt. 3/2 that costs you a mile or so of water but significantly shortens the shuttle. i have not yet used the new gauge upstream of this section for calibration, but if opequon creek at martinsburg is at 3' and sideling hill creek gauge is at 1.4' - the creek should be up.
tilhance creek is very beautiful and has just about every kind of wildlife as well as nice cliffs. use the Rt. 3/2 take out. you will need close to 60 CFS on Hogue Creek to boat tihance.... |

Sleepy Creek - Meadow Branch

Antietam Creek
 | 17 miles away 1 PHOTO Wow, I live on Little Antietam and the creek seemed at normal level so we went to Funkstown and dropped our canoe in. It was great. My husband was fishing and I was just enjoying the ride. Just after we passed the area that is closest to Alt 40 and Cool Hollow Rd we hit rock. For the next 3 hours we scooted, pushed and walked till we hit the bridge on Barnes Rd. What a drag. If the water fall shown is past that I guess I'll never see it.... this is a very nice stretch that also offers good fishing. I guide smallmouth and trout fishing by kayak on this stretch and the 7 miles downstream. Feel free to contact me for free info or to book a scenic paddle or fishing trip. I've got lots of kayaks and canoes and all the gear. info@fishnfloatadventures.com. 301-432-8469. Here is a pic of one of my favorite spots.... |
