Description

This low-water crossing (the former route of Lost Creek Blvd., before they built the high bridge) has numerous narrow pipes, so it is frequently clogged with debris and creates a sieve at low flows, and it creates a deadly recirculating hydraulic at high flows.  Portage/take out at river left.
