OPTIONAL alternative put-in

Taking the above write-up literally ("you can run a 4 mile section if you want") means put-in at Koch's Lane (just west of N.36th/CR800E). There are biking/hiking trails along the creek (which can be used for bike-shuttle) extending all the way from Koch's Lane to our listed take-out.

Drainage area there is just over 2 square miles (extremely tiny), and the gradient upstream is 60 FPM. Such a small and steep drainage area means runoff will be extremely quick. Runnable occasions are likely to be mere hours (or less!), during and immediately after heavy rains.
