Description
The Marengo River enters from the left. From aerial views, it appears there is a large island at this confluence. Bear off to the right at/before the confluence to cut off some distance.
Downstream, the Bad enters generally broad floodplain where it meanders, lazily, broken ever more seldomly by areas of shoals, riffles, and rips. Mileages from here down are somewhat dependent upon route taken, as some of these meanders may have 'short cuts' (especially at higher flows).
