Description

Due to municipal water intake, the area above Swinging Bridge is closed to boaters and boats must be removed prior to reaching the water intake. Boaters are required to portage this section of river starting 100 yards upstream of the impoundment down to the Swinging Bridge. The portage is easily done by following a trail along river right.
