We ran this on 8/11/2024, two days after Hurricane Debby released a bunch of rain and the flood was subsiding. The water gauge at Great Cacapon was 3.6 and falling. Was a great, pleasant run. Water wasn't moving too fast, and the whole trip took 3.5 hours.
Saw lots of green herons, a few kingfishers, an osprey, and loads of turtles.
