Description

This is a good place to take out if you just want to enjoy the swiftwater within the park, and avoid the snagfest downstream.

(On a recent walk along the river downstream of here, in the next 0.75 mile, I counted no fewer than eight shore-to-shore deadfalls which would have to be portaged at virtually any reasonable flow!)

So, as soon as you see the first road bridge in the park (right adjacent to the parking lot for the dog-walk area and for the artesian well), GET OUT!!!
