River Description

Anyone actually run this? We looked at it in April, 2006 but a reasonable takeout access seems to be the big limitation here. It looks like you either have to walk up the North Branch along railroad tracks to Steyer OR run down stream on a high North Branch to Kitzmiller or an interim takeout in the Potomac State Forest. I have one report that puts this in the IV-V range. From what looks like a dirt road on the topo map, it drops 50 feet in the first 0.4 miles, then 120, 150, 150, and 170 feet in the next four.
