Gauge Information
Octoraro Creek
River DescriptionPleasant run through scenic countryside. Put in at the covered bridge just below the lake. The first 7 miles are the best part. The last 8 miles gets pretty flat and twisty as the Octoraro winds its way around an farm valley. The final takeout is also the putin for the Lower Octoraro, a more adventurous stream.StreamTeam Status: verified
