Whether or not the river is crystal clear or not is irrelevant, and I'd even argue that when the river hits 3ft, the entire Potomac is not only safe to wade in most places, but clear as well.  The fact that you accessing an entire watershed for 187.5 miles is prohibited because of what politicians feel is a "safety issue" is absurd.  Try doing that in ANY OTHER national park and see what happens.

NPS property extends to the mean high watermark, which means anything below that is subject to MD law.  You can be in the water below that watermark so long as you're wearing a PFD if you're below the base of Stubblefield Falls all the way to 100 yards above the Brookmont Dam (Little Falls).

Steve is prepping his site for more detailed information regarding the Potomac wading issue.  We've been working together and will get the group here details regarding what's going on in a few days.  Please be patient.

Guys you have to see that this is a safety issue, when your wading you don't know where your walking or what's in the water. The Potomac has a pretty good current and the canal has high banks, thick mud and crap in it. I think you guys should use some common sense and stop acting like your on some crystal clear steam in Colorado.
