Description

As you pass a small rock outcropping on right bank, you'll see a large tree river-right, likely accumulating dead wood, blocking the right side. If you can get through, you'll drop over the roots of the tree. Don't get too excited thinking the photo shows a great falls to run ... it's a 3' drop. Immediately downstream, there's a smooth-strand fence surrounding a pasture. If flow is not too high, it may be possible to slip under the fence tight to right shore. If passage in boat is impossible, portage is likely to be awkward.

Generally it is not an option to stay to the left (in the main channel), because current is swift, taking you into the (likely electrified) fence spanning the creek. On very rare occasions the bottom strand may be broken out, leaving enough clearance for you to pass, but be very wary and cautious to be certain of your strategy before staying in the main flow here!
