Description

The dam at the outflow of Bixby Pond is only runnable at very low levels. At any level above low a dangerous hydraulic forms at base of the dam. This boater was fortunate and was washed out the left side after a short while. STAY ON FAR RIVER LEFT and boof the drop and you will proceed downstream with lettle trouble. Of course, check for wood -- never enter a blind section of a river without laying eyes on it or follwoing someone who has laid eyes on it.
