Description

There is one brief shot of gradient a good ways upstream of our recommended stretch, which lies between Old US Hwy.2 and (new) US Hwy.2. We have no specific awareness whether this may actually create any playable features (at some flows) to merit attempting to check this area out.

There is just 17 square miles drainage at (new) US2, so this would only have adequate flow in early spring or during/immediately-after heavy rains.
