North America's 10 Best River Trips - Youghiogheny River in top 10

From white-knuckle rapids to relaxing canyon floats, put these 10 river trips on your bucket list

There’s a place for vacations that include museum tours and visits to the childhood homes of famous people, but sometimes you need to feel your heart pound and catch a lump in your throat. For the latter type of experience, head to the mountains: The rivers are calling….

…River: Youghiogheny, Maryland and Pennsylvania
Sections: Upper (Class IV-V), Middle (Class I-II), Lower (Class III)
The Beta: The Yough (pronounced “Yock”) is one of the premier rafting rivers of the East, offering trips to satisfy any level of adventure from a family float on the Middle to intermediate excitement on the Lower or technical class V on the Upper. All of the sections have regular dam releases all summer long, meaning that you can schedule trips with confidence that the conditions will be good.
Towns to Visit: Morgantown is the closest large town with good dining options and nightlife, as well as great mountain biking in the surrounding mountains. For drinks and food closer to the whitewater, check out the Lucky Dog Café in Confluence, Pa. (Middle and Lower Sections), or the Mountain State Brewery near Deep Creek Lake in Maryland (Upper Section).
Outfitter: Precision Rafting (for the upper); Wilderness Voyageurs (for the middle and lower sections)
