Data from American Whitewater & USGS
Description
After passing a series of condos on your left, the river splits around an island, at low levels the left channel is too scratchy to be much fun. The right channel is narrow (25 feet) but steep. Many holes force the paddler to dart around the narrow channel. Just before the river joins up with its other half you will notice the remains of a dam on river right. There are also two large culvets in the river bed that must be avoided. Be aware fo another culvert downstream in the middle of the channel, as of September 2001, the openning of this culvert was facing downstream but high water could once again turn this culvert into a more dangerous position.
