Summer time on the Potomac, when the water levels on the Potomac begin dropping, means it is falls running time! Great Falls is located about 5 miles outside of Washington, DC, and it is a popular after-work destination for skilled kayakers.
There are many different lines that can be run on the Falls, but each line has an optimal range of water levels for safe passage.
Each summer in July a downriver race is held on the Falls as a part of PotomacFest - a festival of the Potomac. The week before the race paddlers will be out practicing the lines in preparation for the race. (more...)
