Water Availability in Maryland late August to mid September?

[Tailwinder]

Can anyone advise on water availability from Pen Mar, PA to Rockfish Gap, VA (southern end of Shenandoah National Park) in the late summer (mid August to mid-September)? I have trail guides and data books with locations of water sources, but want to check that springs are not seasonal and so forth. Appreciate any guidance you may have for a possible 2021 section hike along this stretch. Thank you!

Best info will be in the notes of Guthook - highly recommend getting the app.

I’ve done all of this part, but I did it in October which is likely a bit drier than Aug-Sep. The southern part of Shenandoah south of the Loft Mountain campground/camp store had a few 10-15 mile dry stretches back when I hiked that area. I wanna say that Calf Mountain was bone dry when I passed it.

It's really hard to predict this far out. It all depends on how rainy it's been.

But checking the Guthook reports from last year, doesn't seem to be a problem for most of the water sources that time of year.
