Potomac River Camping Weekend; Sat-Mon; Sep 3-5, 2016

[Karen Trump]

Paw Paw, WV to Little Orleans, MD
About 20 miles stretched over three days so a very lazy pace. I don’t think any of the ledges even qualify as Class I. Swimming, fishing, water fights, etc… A West Virginia or Maryland license is required for fishing. Check the rules for kids.

We are camping at the hiker/biker campsites between the C&O canal and the Potomac. Sorrel Ridge on Saturday and Devil’s Alley on Sunday. There is a picnic table, fire pit, water pump, and outdoor toilet at each site. http://www.cocanal.com/along-the-way/2013/05/10/hikerbiker-campsites-an-overview/

Saturday, Sep 3
8:00 Breakfast in Hancock, Md at Park-n-Dine and head to the river. The shuttle details depend on how many people are going. It is about 50 miles to the Paw Paw WV public boat ramp. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.53792,-78.4547436,17z

We arrive at the camp sites mid afternoon with plenty of time to set up and explore. The first night is a short walk up to the Paw Paw Tunnel.

Monday, Sep 5
Noon – Arrive Little Orleans take-out. We usually stop at Bills after the shuttle before saying goodbye.

Please let us know if you will be joining us.

This trip has been cancelled due to low water. The original date in late June was cancelled due to high water. Apparently our 2016 Potomac River camper trip just wasn’t meant to be.
