Monocacy Canoe Club River Rankings - http://www.toad.net/~tony.allred/rank1199.htm: The following is a list of rivers ranked by difficulty, the easier rivers ranked first. Although in most cases, a "canoe zero" level is given to distinguish the lowest level the river is likely to be enjoyed, the list itself was compiled and ranked by considering each river at its "average, good paddleable" level. It is intended to give new members an idea of what rivers are available and at what relative difficulty. In addition, this list can be used by the Cruise Committee and trip leaders as a guide for rating river trips on a consistent basis.
