Description
As things calm down you come to the first (when driving upstream) bridge. Right above this is a very small low head dam type feature. Easy to run river left as it has been broken down on that side. On river right it is retentive and potentially makes a surf spot depending on levels. Small amount of parking here, can potentially be used as a take out
