Trip Report
| Reporter | Michael Simpson |
| Gauge Reading | 400 cfs at BEAR CREEK AT FRIENDSVILLE, MD |
| Flow | Medium Flow |
Large tree across the creek about 150 yards below the I-68 bridge; it can be scouted from under the bridge on the way to the put-in. We ran the last 3 miles from the pipeline crossing to the Yough at ~400 cfs, which was a med-low flow that left time to find ways around the 1/2 dozen or so other downed trees. Overall a pretty creek, except for the final channelized section in Friendsville (below the big river-wide tree).
