Conowingo Creek is a small stream that flows peacefully out of Pennsylvania into Maryland and plunges violently into the Susquehanna River. It is good for a quick thrill. After the put-in at Pilot Town Road in Oakwood, you have about three quarters of a mile to warm up, as riffles progress to easy rapids. The rapids get increasingly more challenging as you continue, then run a four-foot dam through a breach on the right. From here to the end, it is one steep, complex rapid that is occasionally filtered through a fallen tree. Be sure to scout beforehand as there are no eddies and to remove any tree hazards.
