Description
Not far after the Portland Avenue Jump lies a brief bit of rock garden rapids. Unfortunately, this is also an area with HIGHLY eroded banks, making it prone to whole trees dropping into the creek.
CHECK THIS AREA FOR SNAGS BEFORE PUTTING ON UPSTREAM !
Park near the "Dewey Hill" sledding area (just south/upstream/around the bend from the Aurora/Zilber Family Hospice). Walk into the woods and carefully down the steep banks to the creek to look upstream and downstream for any snags!
