Patapsco

Ran this Friday morning, May 4, 2012 when the gauge jumped above 120cfs.
Put in at Old Frederick Rd, out at Ilchester Rd. Some good fun.
Notes: Being completely new to this river, we did not know the section flowing under Rte. 40 is closed, until well after we were committed. The bad news is that there is some serious construction ongoing that looks no where near completion. The river is clearly marked as 'CLOSED' with almost no reasonable method of porting your boat around the constructiion site. The good news is that the 2 dams in this section that most of the literature describe, have been removed making for longer, more consistent linking of rapids. Currently, there is no logistical barrier to running the river through the construction site, and the construction folks have done a great job of creating a fun rapid over the remains of the dam. There is, however, obvious risk of being struck by falling construction debris and possibly legal consequences for running a 'CLOSED' river. So when the signs come down and water is up, this will be a much improved stretch of river for Baltimoreans with few hours and an urge to run some rapids.
