Trip Report

ReporterRobert S. Farmer

I put in at Reisterstown road once. In this section is a small dam that doesn't look too bad, but which forms a Class 6-7 hole at high water. Portage!

Also, at higher water, the section through Woodlawn Cemetery (above the bridge) is nice Class 3, but there is a powerful, serious hole directly underneath the bridge, where it's impossible to see if you're scouting from atop the bridge. Run right, but scout first.
