Description

As you encounter the next footbridge (for Stones River Greenway System), Lytle Creek enters from river-right. Rounding the bend you'll see the Medical Center Parkway bridge just downstream. Be alert for a dam, which likely forms a keeper hydraulic across most of the stream. There appears to be a step-down-bypass to river-left. Passing under the highway, it appears there is another dam, this time without any apparent bypass. Scouting is advised (perhaps best done while running shuttle, to be fully aware the situation here before putting on upstream!). Portage may be required at many flows.
