Hi Cheaters,
The level is looking great for this weekend and we plan on paddling the Cheat Canyon! Right now the Cheat is at 3.8 ft. link to gauge and we expect it to drop a little bit before Saturday. (Note: the gauge that we use is painted on to the bridge at the put in. It is equivalent to 10 ft less than the one at Albright.)
On Saturday morning we will meet at 6:30 am at the Gaithersburg Park and Ride at Exit 11 on I 270. From DC, take exit 10, DO NOT GO TO EXIT 11. At the end of the ramp continue west on Clopper Rd. At the light turn right on to Quince Orchard Rd. Pass under the railroad bridge and turn right at the traffic light into the Park & Ride lot.
If you are driving southbound on 270, just take exit 11 and go straight through the light into the Park & Ride Lot.
Here we can arrange carpools and leave cars for the day. Plan to return to the Park & Ride about 10 pm. We will then head up to the put-in in Albright, WV.
Directions: take 270 north toward Fredrick. Take exit 32 to merge on to I70 W to Hagerstown. Merge onto I 68 W toward Hagerstown (this is a left exit). Take exit 23 Bruceton Mills. Turn left at the end of the exit ramp. You will drive past the gas station where you turn for the take out. Pass Teter's Campground. The put in will be on the right just before a bridge that crosses the Cheat. We will drop boats and passengers off here and the drivers will run shuttle down to the takeout.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
Katie
