I've just finished section hiking the Florida Trail and in a couple of years hope to either thru or section hike the AT. The FT required plenty of water hiking. That is, stretches of up to 8 miles that were mostly ankle to knee deep in water, though most sections didn't exceed 3 or so miles. This isn't creek crossing; this is flooded trail hiking.
Is there any flooded trail hiking on the AT? Where? How much? I've read lots of memoirs but don't recall any mention of flooded trail hiking except perhaps for when it rains.
Thank you.
