Description
The steepest mile is near the end and includes "Dreaded Drop" a irregular 8-10 slide. At higher water levels this drop can develop nasty hydraulics. At higher water levels take caution approaching the take-out since a culvert bridge is immediately downstream and likes to collect debris. Lat/longitude coords are approximate, from TopoZone.
