Alternate put-in may be Natwick Road just near Larson Lane and Lovstad Lane. (These 'lanes' may actually be little more than driveways!) Drainage at this point is 10.5 square miles.
While this adds 2.5-3.0 miles of lower gradient (15-25 FPM), the final half-mile or more (leading to Esofea Road and our listed put-in) drops at an equivalent of 50 FPM, which exceeds gradient anywhere else on the run and could be some fun action!
