Description

Not far below Plainfield Avenue, there lies the next short 'hydraulic jump'.

It may be possible (at some flows) to eddy quick and play a wave here (if one exists, depending on flows).

Just downstream, a bit of brushy shrubbery has sprung up in center-channel where the cement has failed. This may complicate passage at times. Also, between here and 20th Avenue, much of the stretch has trees with branches low to the water. You will either do some 'kung fu fighting' (using your paddle to fend-off the branches), or (with enough water) you may be able to paddle around them over the grassy banks!
