Water Report - Wesser to Fontana

imported
#1

Just finished backpacking Wesser to Fontana from October 6 through 8. Here’s what we found with respect to water:

  1. Between Wesser and Sassafras Gap - nothing except a few drops at sources marked on the ATC maps.
  2. Sassafras Gap Shelter - good flow from pipe at spring near shelter.
  3. Locust Gap - weak flow, very small puddle - we were able to resupply water with good filter.
  4. Brown Fork Shelter - weak flow, very small puddle - able to resupply water with good filter.
  5. Rock lege just south of Yellow Creek Road - decent flow.
  6. Cable Gap Shelter - good flow from pipe in small stream by shelter.
