Sleepy Creek

Ran at 2000 cfs in a Dagger whitewater canoe. It was a good run overall. Very fast water (6 mph pace) with big waves (3-5 ft.). I'd say one rapid might have qualified as a Class III, but overall there was nothing super technical, just a lot of bounce. On the very last rapid before the Potomac confluence, there was a riverwide strainer right after the railroad bridge. Fortunately, the water was high enough that I went right over the tree without issue, but lower flow could have caused a very serious issue. Beware! The put in is not great. The nearest parking is 0.6 miles away. Fortunately I shuttled myself with an ebike, so I just chained it to the metal barrier on the bridge, but leaving a car here would require a significant road walk. Took out at the Cherry Run Boat Ramp.
