Description

A series of islands of islands divide the river. (These may be your best sign that you have certainly crossed into the Reservation lands.) From the aerial view, it appears likely these will often hold massive stacks of trees and wood. The first island (in aerial views) is relatively smaller and treeless, thus may be more of a sand/gravel bar which may be partly or entirely submerged at good flows. The next pair of islands have trees (and appear to catch deadfall), and precede a HUGE island. The rightmost channel appears to carry the most water and have somewhat less problem with deadfall blockages. (I.E., KEEP RIGHT!)
