Trip Report

The 'watergate inn' on the outskirts of Richwood has now been torn down but river access has actually improved at that location with a better path to the river. There is a new put in at Fenwick. Drive to the post office (on river right where you can view the gauge on far side of river ) and continue past the parking lot to a small field with parking on the left (rail trail access). Rhododendron park rapid changed in 2016 due to a flood. It is reforming with the hole at the bottom reappearing.
