Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportJanuary 23rd 2023. Put in at the dam in auburn state park. 3.8ft on the Kennet gauge (the lowest I would recommend for this run) still a bit scrapey in spots. Ran every dam clean and the creek is mostly strainer free. One river wide log had to be portaged in the flat water before S tressle dam. The rapid on river left of the dam had a lot of wood collected by a broken pipe on the far left after the chute and would be extremely dangerous at higher flows. Make sure to scout. There is a very shallow low head dam right before rt 48 bridge that could be dangerous at higher flows. Other then that this creek and it's dams are good to go
Some of the Dams on this run are sloping and can be run. Very Scenic and interesting classII run with enough water. I'd say 4' on the guage is the minimum for a clean run down.
