Upper Yough Expeditions - What to Expect - Safety and Liabillity

What to Expect

Due to the extreme and continuous nature of the rapids, this trip demands a total team effort and is not recommended for the light-hearted. Participants who wish to challenge the Upper Yough should expect to paddle hard and therefore, should be in good physical shape. Inactive, out-of-shape people who cannot pull their weight will not be permitted to raft the Upper Yough.

Safety and Liability

Safety is the most important aspect of rafting with an experienced outfitter. As pioneers of commercial rafting on the Upper Yough, we offer you the safest, most exciting trip possible. However, a good whitewater river has inherent dangers. To make people aware of this, we require all rafters to sign a liability release form before each trip. A copy of this release is available upon request.

Due to regulations imposed by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, all Upper Yough outfitters are limited on the number of clients allowed per day.

To reserve a date, we need a non-refundable deposit of 50% per person. The full balance is due 30 days before the trip date.

As with any whitewater trip, we reserve the right to switch the crafts we are using and the rivers we are rafting, according to the water levels.
