Description
The relatively new walking path provides an easy way to scout the meat of this short steep run. Note the hole immediately below the interstate (left line), and hole toward the bottom of the steepest section, visible before the walking path turns away from the creek. There can also be a hole near the final road bridge. Wood can be an issue and this section should be bank scouted where possible. This run may require a willingness to hit rocks, and possibly break boats and/or paddles. "Manky" @300, was a 2017 report. 2019, at the end of this section in the pond there is a cable-and-orange-buoy barrier; unclear if its possible to eddy before it, or what its for.
