North Branch & Savage releases

Post by Mike W. »

There are scheduled releases on the NBP & Savage next weekend :D :

"NEW
There are plans for an Artificially Varied Flow (AVF) release beginning on August 14, 2004 at 10 AM and lasting until August 15, 2004 at noon. AVF flows are scheduled periodically to help improve downstream habitat. The release rate will be 850 cfs from Jennings Randolph Lake, with a corresponding release of 350 cfs from Savage River Dam.
Additional AVF releases are being considered for September 11-12 and October 9-10, 2004. More information will be provided here at a later date."

I'm not sure if I'll make this weekend or not. I want to go, but will have to see how late work goes on Friday :roll: . If I do, I will not camp along the Savage. I was just told of a campground with showers nearby!

They are only releasing till noon on Sunday. How early do you need to start to not run out of water :o ?

"wonderful state campground just a mile or so past the church where you turn to head down to the put in. I don't remember the name or any details, I just remember that it was nice and clean. I won't be camping this wk-nd, but next time I camp up there that's where I'll be.
Just go past the turn toward the put in, and go till you see a junky looking yard on left in a sharp right turn, then be on the lookout for the entrance to the campground. It's on the right."

I think we'll be fine if we get on by 9 - we'll probably all start to gather around 8:00 at take out - there will be several of us - depending of course on what happens w/the weather due in this week-end. We'll be driving up Sat. pm. - don't know where we're camping yet - most likely will be by the Savage-
We'll have J.'s teal Chevy truck w/2 OC-1's on toop - black and yellow...if you're coming be sure to look us up!

Sorry I missed this! I was without a PC (so info challenged) and without a boat (family obligated)! I was also checking out J's handy work in DC 8) and hanging at the beach.
I hope you had fun and maybe I can talk my way into heading up to the Hudson - rumor has it you might head that way.

PS: Remind J I would like to the photos from the LY - that lad is a HAM! :-)
