Description

Under the highway bridge (CTH.A) it appears there has been some rock rearranging, building a little bit of a weir/dam. At some (intermediate) flows, this may create a very minor wave.

This location offers decent roadside parking, and (if you insist on trying to paddle the next stretch of this river) might make a better put-in. (This avoids the snagfest in the 1.3 miles from the east park bridge to this bridge. From here, you will still encounter many snags, but probably no worse than the mentioned 1.3 miles.)
