Description
A narrow, shady, channel splits off and does not rejoin the main channel for over a mile. This left channel bypasses the Gould Weir. Avocado Lake is immediately on the other side of the left bank. The right channel is cluttered with rocks placed in the river bed for trout habitat. These rocks make for fun manuvering. This right channel, splits again, but then rejoins after a short distance. After a half mile it splits again with the right most channel leading to Gould Weir.
