Description

Along a straight stretch of creek on river left lies a narrow channel that is missed if one blinks. Hidden away and lined with rhodendrons, the Hobbit Trail is quite a unique feature. Nothing difficult awaits boaters here, though there is a cool micro eddy to catch on river left at the bottom. At low flows, the Hobbit Trail is the only navigable channel around the island without grounding out on rock. Beware of wood.
