Just one question...how low can 100 Yard Dash go? - short boat low flow fun & enjoying every moment - making the most of summer's low flow. Running 100 Yard Dash at one foot may not have had it to live up to its name like how it does once it reaches four feet and above, but the ultra low levels offer a beautiful and intriguing sight into the normally submerged features and exposed ledges that create the wave train rollercoaster of its namesake when in peak form (akin to Maui Wave). 100 Yard Dash changes like no other around, from the creeky path and bumpy feel of low flow to morphing into a legitimate class V at Flood Stage, as seen on June 4, 2018, at 21.74ft., when the elite Mike Moore crew charged through the oceanic sky scraping peaks - "Kayaking the Potomac & Shenandoah Rivers at Harpers Ferry at Flood Stage: 21.74ft., 6.4.18" -    • Kayaking the Potomac & Shenandoah Rivers a...   and what happens at 4:37 in "Potomac River at Flood Stage: Harpers Ferry, WV, 18.33ft., 9.29.18 (#1)" -    • Potomac River at Flood Stage: Harpers Ferr...  .

Stream Gauges:
USGS 01638500 POTOMAC RIVER AT POINT OF ROCKS, MD
USGS 01636500 SHENANDOAH RIVER AT MILLVILLE, WV
The NOAA Harpers Ferry Stream Gauge, which is the most accurate gauge for The Needles, was offline & has been offline ever since it was destroyed from the severe damage to the Winchester & Potomac Railroad Bridge & the Goodloe Byron Memorial Pedestrian Walkway from the CSX train derailment at Harpers, Ferry, WV on 12/21/2019. The combined readings of both the Harpers Ferry & Millville stream gauges provides the most accurate measurements of the true flow rate for all of the rapids from The Confluence to the U.S. Route 340 Sandy Hook Bridge.
The Point of Rocks gauge is used is approximate the flow rate for the Potomac River at Harpers Ferry, WV due to the following statement from the NOAA Harpers Ferry Stream Gauge " This gauge ["Potomac River at Harpers Ferry"] does not provide readings below 3.1 feet. To determine an estimation of values at low water, view the Point of Rocks gauge. At low water, values at Harpers Ferry are generally within a quarter foot - usually slightly higher - of those at Point of Rocks. Streamflow is typically a few hundred cfs lower at Harpers Ferry than Point of Rocks at low water."
