American Whitewater collaboratively manages the Upper Youghiogheny River put in with the state of Maryland. We collect on-site donations and use the funds to keep the grass mowed and the site in good shape. The funds go to support the hard costs of volunteers who donate their time and equipment for site upkeep. Through working collaboratively with the State, we have avoided a mandatory fee system and provided high quality public access for over half a decade. Special thanks go to all the volunteers who take care of the site, including Charlie Walbridge and John Regan.
