This Sunday 10 May, Tim Tilson will coordinate a trip from Riley’s Lock to Pennyfield Lock. This is a Class I+ trip. The weather will be 77- 80 degrees with a 15% chance of rain. The level is projected to be 3’ (3,000 cfs) so this will be a low water run. However appropriate safety gear (helmet, skirt etc.) are required. Meet at Pennyfield Lock (39.0569, -77.2937) at 1:00 pm to set shuttle. Please have eaten lunch and be ready to paddle.
