Oakland Avenue (old post-pile)
Mineral Springs Creek - S.Ravine St. to S.Milwaukee St. (0.5 mile) (WI)
Gauge Conditions
Almost certainly too low to boat.
Description
As the creek approaches the W.Oakland Avenue road bridge, a row of wood posts are anchored into the streambed (undoubtedly remnants of the supports for a long defunct horse-and-carriage bridge).
This area is very much subject to strainers and snags. While any rapids here may merit no more than class I-II rating, the high potential for snags and difficult maneuvering suggest a much higher skill-level may be required.
Scout this area from the bridge before putting onto the creek!
(Downstream of the bridge, private properties flank the stream, making it impossible to walk this stretch to scout for blockages).
