Paddlers can enjoy this section of the Patapsco year-round. Water is backed up behind the dam to provide about 2 miles of flat water even during low water conditions and when the river is running high paddlers can travel from Woodstock Road (Rt. 125) to the Daniels area, approximately 4.7 river miles. The Daniels area has a canoe put-in/take-out just above the Dam. This is the perfect section of the park for a quiet paddle. Anglers can step from their vehicle and cast their line in the swift waters below the dam in minutes or paddle upstream and float down river fishing along the way. |
