Cacapon

Had an amazing trip on this stretch of the Cacapon (Great Cacapon gauge at 2.2 ft.). It was low, but I did minimal scraping. Anything lower than two feet, expect to get out of your boat and drag. The town of Capon Bridge demolished the old building that caught on fire and turned it into a gravel lot for public boat access! Really great move, and a really cute town. There are only three major rapids which were all super manageable at this level in my open face canoe (no float bags). The third is the largest with about a 4 ft cascading drop. Keep right and you'll be fine; I didn't even take on water! The scenery, the quiet, and the wildlife are all unbeatable. This is a true hidden gem and someplace I'll go again and again.
