Potomac, North Branch - 5. Bloomington, MD to Black Oak (Gary Yoder River Access) Nr. Rawlings, MD (WV)
Gauge Conditions
Data from American Whitewater & USGS
Description
Below the Keyser River access there are some old bridge pilings. The river briefly picks up some gradient here and there are some rocks to avoid, but the run is generally in the center. This is the last notable rapid on this section of river, the gradient becomes noticably flatter. At the bottom of this rapid, if you look up the hill on the river left (Maryland) side, you can see the Queen's Point Overlook.
