I just went back up and crossed at street / grade. This underpass on the WOD floods a lot and there’s a fork in the trail about fifty feet back that goes up to the street. The water was deep and moving fast, would’ve been swept out to the Potomac.

I’m thinking at the center point you had at least a foot of water if not two feet covering the trail. Not as bad as the eight feet that were there after one of the hurricanes. And you never know what’s been floating downstream and is under water there and frequently can’t see it.

I finally got around to visiting the rest of the Anacostia Tributary Trail System and Lake Artemesia this past Sunday (got a good sunburn from it). Here’s the video I took of it:
I liked biking on those trails, but i did notice that the Paint Branch trail has a lot of 90 degree turns and forks where I’d be lost if it weren’t for the blue markings.

I’m not sure if you saw the signs, but the swamp and tree stumps on the northern end of the Paint Branch trail (4:05 in the video) are remnants of the 2001 tornado that ripped through campus.
