Description

The stream takes a rather significant left-hand bend. The right bank is seriously eroded, undercutting the bank, and (years back) dropped a very large tree into the river. That has been cut, and the root-ball end of that trunk is now mostly out of the way of things. (Even moreso than in the accompanying photo.)

Downstream, a couple more zig-zags and more trees along shore may complicate passage. Skillful paddlers should be able to avoid being tangled in the tree roots and shrubbery protruding from the shores, while novices and less aggressive paddlers will likely end up pushed into them.

Situations through here can change randomly every year, so make sure to check this area carefully before putting on.
