augusta county now owns the land at the rt 612 bridge in crimora and is making a park there. good
parking and you can split up runs from rt 611 in dooms(pullof is 100 yds up from bridge go down NW
side of bridge) to crimora and crimora to harriston(rt 778 bridge park under bridge) i ran the
first section the other day at 2.65 on harriston gauge probably lowest level runnable without
having to get out, ran other section the next day at 2.6 and had to drag about three times. section
one is clean but the other has two? river bend rapids that ran straight into down trees that
required hard paddling crosscurrent to avoid (plus a dead cow just down from the putin). wont run
that one again until above 2.7. can run in 2-3 hrs if paddling but i float fished and took a little
over 4 hrs. each. small mouth,redeye, and ALOT of chubs(they're fun though) even saw an osprey
fishing!(hope he doesn't O.D. on mercury!)
