Going to be on this section next weekend and wanting to know if anyone knows how the water is flowing.
Going to be on this section next weekend and wanting to know if anyone knows how the water is flowing.
I meant to put Wilbur. Dam.
I went through that section @ three weeks ago. The area for 18 miles north from the Dam has very iffy water. Some spots are bone dry, others have a trickle. The problem is that any general statement of conditions is bound to be wrong - on the day I went through wither a source was dry or not seemed to depend on the time of day - a SOBO swore a source was good but by the time I got there half a day later there wasn't even a trickle.
Load up before you do the section and keep more water on you than you normally would. Know that it's a coin toss if any particular source will be good.
Later on I encountered a trail maintainer who said Vandeventer Shelters source rarely goes dry. It is down a long and steep spur trail so I did not check that one out myself, but I was told it was dry by multiple people.
Just be careful and you will be fine.
