The Youghiogheny River, called the “Yough” by most people, is a very popular river for paddlers of all skill levels and is most sought out for its whitewater challenge from Sang Run to Friendsville. For novice paddlers, this section is perfect as it offers lots of flat water and Class I riffles and has only one, fairly long Class II great for challenging a beginner. The scenery is great as you pass through an attractive wooded gorge and as the river widens, great wildlife viewing opportunities arise on the wooded and shrubby river banks. The end point is hard to locate and is not a great access point but this is the last chance to get out before the river changes personality. Just after Millers Run joins the Yough and right as it bends to the left, take-out is on the right hand side and parking is on the side of the road.
