Upper Youghiogheny

Tread lightly in town

Residents in Friendsville and Sang Run have been feeling the pressure of being a paddling mecca, and their unhappiness could spell trouble for paddlers if they don't develop a friendlier rapport with the community. The Chicago Whitewater Association offers some tips to keep the waters smooth between the two groups:

• Leave your dogs at home when paddling the Upper Yough.

• Do not change your clothes in your car or on the street. Use Mt. Surf or go to the changing house at the put-in.

• Do not drink alcohol on the street.

• Do not play music or engage in raucous behavior. The less conspicuous you are, the better.

• Look both ways before crossing the street and do not obstruct traffic.

• Drive very slowly through town and through Sang Run, the community near the put-in. Be aware of children and pets.

• Patronize local businesses as much as possible.
