Description
As the cement ditch leaves the box culvert, it drops down two hydraulic jumps in quick succession and then begins nearly a mile of non-cement (more 'natural') streambed, surrounded by trees. This stretch is HEAVILY prone to deadfall and impassible snags. Only the ignorant or most masochistic of individuals would attempt to paddle this mess!
