Description

The remains of an old concrete bridge clutter the river channel, creating obstacles and hydraulics that may be interesting or hazardous, depending on your skill level. 

Immediately downstream the river splits into several channels around small islands.  Trees in the channel can be a problem, especially at high flows.
