Colesville Crusher

After Crusher Junior, there is a pool and then the creek
turns right and disappears. The lead-in into the Crusher has a river wide hole
that is sticky. You do not want swim here so scout carefully. You might also
set safety there. One line is catching the right corner of the hole.

Then you’re in the Crusher itself which eventually squeezes
the whole river down to a ping-ponging line about boat wide with hidden sieves
through-out. You’ll scout this. Non class-V+ paddlers can portage on the river
left via the path through the boulders.

Also known as the Great Falls of the Anacostia or the
Colesville Cruncher. Theodore Roosevelt wrote: 'Excepting Great Falls [of
the Potomac], it is the most beautiful place around here.'
