Description
Since the 'hydraulic jumps' (where cement box culverts crossed the river) have been removed from the next stretch of this run, some folks may prefer to shorten their trip by getting out at (or someplace before) the suspension bridge in this park.   We have placed this marker at the former location of the first of the now removed jumps. (Some aerial views may still show the jump.) If taking out here, park well-toward the pool to minimize the carry to your vehicle from the river.   Folks wanting a bit longer trip on the next section downstream (the MenTosa section), but not wanting to add the entire length of this (MenWesTosa) section, might use Hoyt Park as their put-in (as that section formerly used as its recommended put-in). For this, park about midway between the entrance and the pool, carry downslope along the border between grassy area and woods, and you will start off with the aforementioned diagonal box-culvert waves.
