Sandy Beach/O-Deck to Anglers Inn (Mather Gorge)
Potomac River - It should be noted that the stretch of river from O-Deck just below Great Falls thru Wet Bottom offers some of the best big water paddling in Maryland. 10,000 cfs thru a 100 foot wide gorge makes for some large waves, surging eddies and boiling eddylines. There is a popular playspot guide developed by David Mackintosh.
