This is not to be confused with the other Sideling Hill Creek, which hangs out in Pennsylvania.

Ed Evangelidi testifies:
You can spend a lovely day above I-68 or below. Your choice. The stretch above the interstate is mostly private land but has little development and the stretch below the interstate is partly in government hands. Both have lovely rugged hills and bouncy but tame rapids. The next bridge down from the interstate makes a good putin or takeout and has a painted gauge that should read at least Â3Â. The takeout area is presently in a state of flux, with bridge work and a major bike construction project. But there is access that might change from time to time. Exercise caution in hunting season.

Mile 13.4--High Germany road bridge:The Nature Conservancy owns 2000 feet of Land on river left with good parking.
Mile 14.4--Old rt. 40 bridge:This is the most used access on this stream,separating what is considered the upper and lower sections.
Mile 20.2--Harry Norris road ford:fantastic access on Nature Conservancy land>
Mile 23.5--Cliff Road:there is very good access at Greenridge State Forest campsite #85.It seems to me that the county does not plow or care for this skinny liitle class 3 road.
Mile 25.7--Zeigler road bridge:is now open.there is good parking with a steep carry at this bridge.
Mile 27.2--Confluence with the Potomac:I don't think there is access near the confluence,but you can go on down the Potomac a mile or so and make a long carry up to woodmont rd.!NOTE:The conditions near the confluence are different every time I go there!
