River DescriptionPhoto: Tony Allred runs probe on Deer Creek's only Class III rapid, by Charles S. Hihn. Photo courtesy of the Monocacy Canoe Club.There is a short Class III set of chutes near the gauge. Much of the rest of this long run is rather tame but pretty. Picks up speed again when it makes its final drop to the Susquehanna. See Gertler, Ed; Maryland and Delaware Canoe Trails. Lat/longitude coords are VERY approximate, from TopoZone.

There is a nice section of rock gardens that can be a little challenging to a beginner after you pass under Route 1. A suggested short trip would be to put in at sandy hook road and take out at the bridge at Forge Hill Rd, there is a small dirt path that is negotiable on the right side of the bridge. Edit
