Description
Harwood Avenue bridge is closed to vehicular traffic to be a pedestrian mall with tables and chairs.
Two sets of piers in the river tend to collect branches and whole trees, partially or totally blocking passage on river. (SEE PHOTO!)
SCOUT THIS LOCATION WHILE SETTING SHUTTLE to know whether the river is clear or obstructed, and assess whether you can safely get past.
IF THERE IS ANY WOOD, GIVE IT WIDE BERTH! (Branches can 'bounce' up and down in the current, going from submerged to snagging you or your boat!)
IF THIS IS TOTALLY BLOCKED, YOU MAY NEED TO TAKE-OUT BEFORE COMING THIS FAR!
There are stairs coming down to the water through the vertical wall at river-right, so there is a way to get out of the river. However, the steps are at the bridge, so if the whole river is blocked, you would be perilously close to the blockage before being able to get out! Again, best to know before putting on for your run!
