My wife and I ran Goose Creek at 1.95 water level on 6/12/19. We strapped the 2 Pelican trailblazer 100 kayak's on a skateboard and rolled the.5 mile from Cochran Road via the WO&D path. Plenty of public parking next to the trail entrance. We entered the 2 Creeks Trail off WO&D and took the first right down a narrow/slight grade grass path to Goose Creek. River bank was about a 2 foot drop so we got in the river on a tipped over tree using a rope to hold kayak to shore. Ride was great. We scrapped a few times, but did not have to walk over rocks at all. Got hung up/spun around on Golf Course rapids, but my secret kayaking pro wife did not have any issues.
We both completed ride from Keep Loudoun Beautiful Park to Kephart Bridge Landing without any issues. This is a better section for novice paddlers. Kephart Bridge Landing is not marked at all off river so make sure you go off to the right bank after Rock Garden. GPS did not give me a good location from river. Looking forward to completing run again. Safe Travels!
