Description

First Railroad Bridge rapid offers a straightforward passage through the narrow Bear Cage Gorge section of the Doe River. While specific details are limited, paddlers should be prepared for potential rock obstacles and tight channel navigation between railroad bridge abutments. Local knowledge and scouting are recommended due to the river's variable flow conditions.
