Upper Youghiogheny River Rafting ~ Yough Week 2023 Lap 1 ~ R2

The Upper Yough is a short, busy Class IV - V gorge hidden amongst the hills near Friendsville, MD. For a week straight at the end of the dam release season, the Upper Yough fills with water and paddlers flock to the gorge to warm up for Gauley Fest at the end of the week. With steep, tight, technical drops and seemingly non stop boogie water in between, this river keeps you on your toes. This is the first of 4 laps we took for the week. More to come. Enjoy.

Communication is lubrication. Stuff doesn’t happen because we talk/shout at each other sometimes

I like to think we’re breaking the mold on that one but who knows 😂

Great run. A lot smoother than my last run. Where to most people camp for the Youghiogheny?

[@Highwaterahead]

There’s a couple state parks if you want facilities and some state forest pretty close by that have dispersed camping. I’ve stayed at swallow falls state park and in Garrett state forest both are pretty sweet
