Gauge Reading60 cfs at Piney Run-Arrington Road to Marriottsville

The main drop of Piney run is a 2' drop that requires a left boof stroke. You won't piton if you don't make your stroke but you land better if you do. Right after the drop you can stay far left or cut hard right between two more rocks and continue down. Lots of rocks to avoid broaching on. This is a fun micro creek best run after a big rain with the gauge reading at least 90 cfs and rising. Below 90 cfs is serious boat abuse. Over 200 cfs becomes more padded and pushy. Only micro eddies available. Parking is available at Arrington road and Marriottsville Rd. 2 or roadside on river left just below the main drop. You can easily park and run this several times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKDtQHg6hiM
