Is anyone interested in paddling this gem on the dam release this weekend? It's a wonderful class 3 whitewater run only 3 hours drive from Northern Virginia. Did you know that when you are in Cumberland, MD, you are equidistance from the Yock to the West and Stonycreek to the North? This is definate...

Doug:

Two of us are meeting at the Westerport McDonalds at 11:30 AM. You are welcome to join us.

If you missed Tom's Potomac tribs weekend last week, you get a chance again this weekend, as the water levels have improved, as we are looking at temps in the 60s Saturday and 70s Sunday. It's time to knock off the rust and enjoy some whitewater. Please contact me at 703.830.5660, Grvrassoc!aol.com,...

Jeff:

Have a great trip.

Who wants to paddle each river on a 1,000 cfs release each day this weekend (9-29 - 10-1)? - Sat: Savage River - Sun: North Branch - Mon: North Branch Paddling season is drawing to a close. You can watch football the rest of the fall. Why not come to the mountains when the whitewater is running? Ple...

There are wonderful water levels ... everywhere in West Virginia. In several weeks, there will be no water except for the New River Gorge. Carpe Diem!

Let me know if you can paddle now through Saturday.

Every spring, there are 1 or 2 perfect weeks of whitewater in West Virginia, when it rains early in the week, river levels hold up all week, and there is warm weather. This is one of those weeks. The gages are spiking after the last 24 hours of rain, and the creeks are rolling. For example, the Chea...

This should be an excellent weekend for paddling the Cheat Tribs, which are running now: - Dry Fork - Shavers Fork And if the 75% chance of storms/rain forecast for that area occurs, maybe the best Cheat tribs will be running: - Laurel Fork - Red Creek Give me a shout if you are interested: Grvrasso...

Anybody interested in paddling the Cheat or Potomac tribs this weekend, using the North Branch Bloomington section dam release as a fall back?

If so, please email me at Grvrassoc@aol.com or call me at 703.830.5660.

With the arrival of paddling season, I was catching up on reading our Coastal's website. I noticed in a January 16th posting on this forum, the follwing statement was made: "NOW IS THE TIME FOR A PADDLING REUNION. Some of us have passed such as Les Fry, Don Bowman, Gil Lipton and Gene Derryberr...

The rains are coming and water will be in the river, with temps in the 70s/80s. Perfect! We were thinking of a Smokehole/Hopeville Canyon combo on Saturday, and depending on the rain, the best available trip for Sunday and Monday. Please email or call if you are interested in meeting us. Regards! Ma...

Trevor:

I had two possible trips in mind:

- A combo: Lost River and Moorefield Gorge (S. Fk./S. Br. Potomac)

- Laurel Fork of the Cheat

What did you have in mind?

Regards!

Water, water, everwhere! This should be the best water/weather weekend of paddling so far this year. I am flexible on rivers, and was thinking of the upper Potomac and Cheat tribs, but would consider class 2-4 most anywhere. What do you think? Let me know. Regards!

Anyone interested in paddling in West Virginia this weekend? I was thinking we could meet there Saturday mid-late morning for a run on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. It looks like the Upper Potomac tribs (smokehole, Hopeville, and Moorfield) should have water, as well as some of the Upper Ch...
