I just got back from the Stony Creek Rendezvous near Johnstown, PA. This is the first year that the new valve at Quemahoning Dam released into the river. It added 500 cfs to the river, roughly doubling the flow. What a great creek! Like the Tohockon, but bigger, like the Yough, but more continuous and playful. They'll be releasing every other weekend for the rest of the year. It's part of a multi-millon dollar project that paddlers had a big role in, cleaning up the water and creating a new whitewater park. Check it out! http://benscreekcanoeclub.com/quemahoning-releases/
