Description

The river runs against the right bank then turns sharply left down a narrow riffle through the trees.  A high flow channel continues around to the right, but a tree has fallen across it.  The riffle itself is straight, deep in the middle but shallow at the entrance and at the end.  Bushes overhang the left side and an old log borders the right side half way down the riffle.
