Riser Road across Sideling Hill Creek

Gravel Segment
From Harry Norris Rd, Bellegrove to Harry Norris Rd, Little Orleans, Allegany County, Maryland
Gravel continues to ford the creek, all on public right of way. A fairly easy ford (at least in fall, 1-2 feet deep and not moving fast), but you will definitely get wet and likely need to carry your bike.

USGS maintains a stream gauge that can be used to look up the current depth of the creek: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/01610155/ The ford is generally passable at all times except during and very shortly after heavy rainfall or snowmelt.
