There is an option of running a two part Class III rapid called 'Deer Creek Rapids @ Rocks' located upstream of the gauge at the beginning of this run (see 2. Eden Mill Dam to Rocks State Park for the description of this rapid). A put-in below this rapid, at the Rocks State Park lower parking area to the Walters Mill River Access take-out results in a 6.4 long mile run which is rather tame but pretty. To get to the Take-out from US. 1, take Ady Road (MD 543) north and turn left onto Walters Mill Road. Follow Walters Mill Rd. to the Walters Mill River Access.
