06.18.2025 Today while collecting water samples, we encountered turbid, swift, and high-flowing waters in the Main-stem, North Fork, and South Fork of the Shenandoah River. We observed large logs and debris being quickly carried downstream. Remember: “If it’s brown, turn around!” Stay safe and avoid entering muddy fast-moving.
