Monocacy River Canoeing Company

Monocacy River Canoeing Company Specializing in low impact, gentle adventures in canoeing and floating for families and groups on t

The Monocacy, a state scenic river, is a beautiful, close-to-home escape from the hustle and bustle. Perfect for a lazy afternoon float trip, the river's forested banks are full of bird life, (including numerous bald eagles) and the air is full of "nature sounds"... With several great access points, the river can be floated in sections from 2 hours in length to all day!

A gorgeous day on the River!

Looking forward to being on the River this weekend!

When the River is too high and too contaminated for beginners, we don’t cancel class, rather, we have dry land training!...

The water is low, real low.... and we still have not replaced our tow vehicle. But if you can safely transport a canoe, and are willing to walk a lot of the river, we have them available for rental.. just no shuttle service... sorry...

In spite of our “wet” spring, the bottom is dropping out of the Monocacy very quickly....

Extremely low water has combined with a casualty to the prime mover (for our trailer ) to cause us to suspend operations (except for our classes) for the season...
Looking forward to a fantastic spring 2020!

Thanks to all of you who paddled with us this year!

Just a quick update on some of the challenges we have been facing this past two years... The Monocacy is a perfect river for a family float trip! ...when we are not getting mega-rainfall every other day or so...
When the river is high and muddy, it can be, quite frankly, a bit scary even for an experienced paddler!

So, to those of you who are frustrated with us, we share your frustration! And appreciate your understanding!

An update to a story we did where the City of Frederick was being sued by the Potomac Riverkeeper Network, that lawsuit has been dismissed.

This has been a tough season for MRCC... the constant rain has kept the Monocacy bank-full and muddy since May. Our decisions to limit when people can paddle, come from a life spent near rivers, hearing tragic tales of folks who weren’t ready for the hazards high water can create.
We hope you will continue to be interested in paddling this beautiful river in Summer 2019, when hopefully, our precipitation patterns return to some semblance of normalcy...
