The directions above don't seem to make any sense to me. Here are some better directions:
Starting at Bruceton Mills, go south on 26 about 5 miles or so (estimate) until you come to Little Sandy Creek (unmarked).
Immediately south of the creek, turn right on Little Sandy Creek Rd, drive through a small community and past a large-ish church.
Follow this road. After a mile or so, stay right at an unmarked fork near the crest of a hill.
Shortly after you crest a very steep hill, turn right (downhill) on Sovern Run Rd. (unmarked). If you cross the one-lane bridge over Sovern Run, you've gone too far. Drive down Sovern Run to Rockville (i.e. the put-in bridge, unmarked).
Takeout: Drive up Sovern Run Rd. Turn right at the top. Cross the one-lane bridge.
The road basically comes to a T. Turn left. Continue to the Mt. Nebo Church.
At a funky, four-way intersection at the church, stay right, and go up the hill. Follow this road to the bridge across the Cheat (Jenkinsburg).
