Trip Report – Difficult Run – Old Georgetown Pike (Route 193) to Potomac R.

I've been paddling Difficult Run for years and it's always been fun, regardless of the level. There's many a good story that took place on this small creek, but I digress. What I recently discovered was how low, in terms of cfs, some of those runs were. These are levels at the gauge with their corresponding cfs:

3.5' 67 cfs

3.8' 104 cfs

4.0' 135 cfs

4.5' 220 cfs

5.0' 340 cfs

5.5' 475 cfs

I once ran DR with Jerry Palushock at 3' on the gauge. It was low, VERY LOW, but it was channelized and still floatable. Enjoy.
