Description
Width: 25'-30'
After slogging your way through the "Disenchanted Forest", you'll encounter some bedrock riverbed and some gradient. As mowed lawn appears to the left along a long estate driveway, the sloping bedrock creates a fun little wave. At good flows this has a pretty fair pool/eddy below, and will allow surfs and spins (too shallow for anything vertical). At moderate-to-high flows, it will actually get a bit sticky/retentive!
Drainage has increased to a whopping ~8.5 square miles. Wahoo!
