Description
A footbridge crosses the lower part of this tributary just as it drops its final ledges toward confluence with the (main) Kinnickinnic in River Falls. We have no reports of whether this is actually runnable, nor for how far upstream. (On aerial/satellite photo, it appears there may be one bigger drop a bit upstream -- runnable? Not?) Has anyone had eyes on this? Scouted it? Run it? From how far up? Is it a woodfest upstream? A portage-fest? Report!
