Potomac

Someone needs to fix the gauge ratings on this site. At 2.91 it is reading green as a medium level and most people that are out on mather gorge or little falls know and probably feels this level to be low.

Having run this section from maybe 50 times at different levels, I think 2.5 - 3.2' is the optimum level for Little Falls with the best play spots. Above 3.5' most of the run gets washed out although the Little Falls rapid is quite entertaining. William Nealy wrote about a near death experience on Little Falls at high water in his Whitewater Home Companion Vol 2. Avoid the Chain Bridge abutments at higher levels.
