Laurel Hill Creek Upper Section & tributariesGeneral Description
The Casselman River rises in Grantsville, MD and flows to Confluence, PA where
it meets the Youghiogheny. The river provides stretches of Class II and III whitewater
where canoers and kayakers can challenge themselves in powerful chutes and pockets
of bubbling eddies.
Acid mine drain off has been cleaned up on the Casselman, making many areas suitable
for trout and bass fishing.
Laurel Hill Creek has retained many of the qualities of the natural river. Kooser & Laurel
Hill State Parks form the head waters of the Laurel Hill Creek, while state forest
and game lands cover western portions of the basin. When the creek is in a high water
stage, canoers can find challenging Class III runs.
