Great fun overall except the 2 locations with riverwide strainers as of 6/24/2023. They both seemed to be within the 1st mile of the trip with the first happening along whites run road where the creek splits into 2 directions at the first island. Both directions were full of wood with right being obvious from straightaway and left being less obvious around a bend. The portage there was easy. Next a short ways after the creek parallels the highway heading East the river splits into 3 directions with 2 islands, seeing that most of the flow went through the middle we chose this path only to find a river wide tree had fallen across the river. Exploring the channels to the right and left revealed strainers on both sides. Taking out on river left of the middle channel and portaging to the river left of the main channel after the right channel rejoined it was the best bet. After that the river was a ton of fun! Less scenic than North Fork South Branch Potomac but more exciting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcJnQvz3qsQ&ab\_channel=ChrisMayOutdoors
