Trip Report

ReporterTrey Musgrave

4/16/22 - We put in at Seneca Ridge & Greenway Trail Parking lot (mile 4.2) and came across 4 massive strainers where we had to either carry our kayaks around or get out and climb/maneuver over the fallen trees.

There were plenty of other minor strainers that you could limbo under or squeeze through but we didn't bother noting those. The cfs was ~94 and we bottomed out quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend running this until the water level is a bit higher.

We put out at the end of this run, at the Potomac.
