An Entity of Type: river, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Savage River is a 29.5-mile-long (47.5 km) river in Garrett County, Maryland, and is the first major tributary of the North Branch Potomac River from its source. The river was named for 18th century surveyor John Savage. The last 4.5 miles (7.2 km) of the river, from the Savage River Dam to its confluence with the Potomac at Bloomington, Maryland, is a destination for whitewater paddling and slalom racing, on the infrequent occasion when sufficient water is released from the dam. There were three one-day recreational releases in 2011, two in June and one in September.

  • El río Savage es un curso de agua de 47.5 km (29.5 millas) de largo, ubicado en el condado de Garrett, Maryland, Estados Unidos de América. Es el primer afluente principal desde su nacimiento del brazo norte del río Potomac.​ Fue nombrado en homenaje a Thomas Savage, topógrafo del siglo XVIII.​ El Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ejército de los Estados Unidos supervisa una represa sobre el río Savage destinada al control de inundaciones y cuyo espejo de agua se utiliza para fines recreativos, entre otros la pesca deportiva. El sitio es hábitat de truchas marrones (Salmo trutta), arcoíris (Oncorhynchus mykiss) y de arroyo (Salvelinus fontinalis).​ Los últimos 7.2 km (4.5 millas) del curso del río, desde la represa hasta su confluencia con el Potomac en Bloomington, Maryland, es un tramo adecuado para el descenso de aguas bravas y el piragüismo en eslalon, en las pocas ocasiones anuales en que se libera agua de la represa en volumen suficiente.​ El río Savage se usó para las pruebas olímpicas de EE. UU. y fue sede del Campeonato Mundial de Piragüismo en Eslalon de 1989. El lugar habitual para el ingreso de las embarcaciones de aguas bravas es 1.1 km (0.7 millas) aguas abajo de la presa, el punto donde la carretera cruza el río.​ La sección de competencia de slalom comienza 800 m (0.5 millas) más lejos aguas abajo, y termina 500 m (0.35 millas) después, a la altura del puesto de observación sobre el puente colgante peatonal.​ El inclinación promedio para la sección de aguas bravas del río Savage es de 75 pies/milla (1.4%), con secciones de 100 pies/milla (1.9%), lo que otorga a los rápidos una clasificación de aguas bravas de III a III + en la versión recreativa típica de 800 pies cúbicos/s (23 m³ / s). Los rápidos son veloces y continuos, con muy pocos remolinos o lugares de agua serena.​ (es)

  • The Savage River is a 29.5-mile-long (47.5 km) river in Garrett County, Maryland, and is the first major tributary of the North Branch Potomac River from its source. The river was named for 18th century surveyor John Savage. Tributaries to the Savage River upstream of the Savage River Reservoir include Carey Run, Mudlick Run, Little Savage River, Bluelick Run, Blacklick Run, Warnick Run, Poplar Lick Run, and Bear Pen Run. At the southern end of the reservoir, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains the Savage River Dam for flood control and recreation. It has trout fishing for brown, rainbow, brook and sometimes cutthroat trout. Pine Swamp Run, Dry Run, Middle Fork Crabtree Creek, and Crabtree Creek flow into the reservoir. Aaron Run joins the Savage River just upstream of its merger with the North Branch Potomac River. The last 4.5 miles (7.2 km) of the river, from the Savage River Dam to its confluence with the Potomac at Bloomington, Maryland, is a destination for whitewater paddling and slalom racing, on the infrequent occasion when sufficient water is released from the dam. There were three one-day recreational releases in 2011, two in June and one in September. The Savage has been used for the and was the site of the 1989 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships on June 24–25. The usual put-in for whitewater boats is 0.7 miles (1.1 km) below the dam, where the highway crosses the river. The slalom racing section begins 0.5 miles (800 m) further downstream, below the 5.0-foot-high (1.5 m) Piedmont Dam, and ends 0.35 miles (560 m) downstream at the viewing stand above the pedestrian suspension bridge. The 1989 race was the first time the Slalom World Championships were held in the United States. The next occasion was a quarter century later in 2014, when they were held on artificial whitewater at the nearby Adventure Sports Center International, constructed in 2007 as a more accessible alternative to the seldom-watered Savage. The average gradient for the Savage River's whitewater section is 75 feet/mile (1.4%), with sections at 100 feet/mile (1.9%), giving the rapids a whitewater class III to III + at the typical recreational release of 800 cu ft/s (23 m3/s). The rapids are fast and continuous, with very few eddies or calm spots. (en)
