Here's the the latest strainer report for Seneca Creek:
Riffle Ford to Black Rock Rd:
THREE river-wide tree blockages that required portaging all of which involved steep banks I'd call the portages class three -- 10' elevation gains and a lot of elbow grease to complete. The logs are huge; I don't think the park can cut them easily cut them out. I'd stick with the section from 28 to Rileys while it's reportedly clear.
Black Rock Rd to 28:
One massive log jam that had a long, easy drag around on River left earlier this spring but it now badly overgrown. The park may cut a new portage there on river-right, but for now I'd say Rt. 28 is the head of navigation.

MD Rt 28 to Riley’s Lock:
Reportedly now clear of river-wide blockages! In addition, the park staff has removed the logs and flotsam that made the Berryville PI/TO a bit of a pain.
