Description
A 'park-and-huck' opportunity in a park, where this tributary (Berry Bridge Creek) drops into the Niobrara River. A clean approach and a landing in a larger river make this a fairly straight-forward drop for those inclined to get a little 'air time'. As always on dropping anything 'vertical', know your landing zone, and be aware of waterfall techniques to prevent (or minimize the risk or liklihood of) injury or damage to self or boat.
