Description

A north/south connector street crosses the creek midway through the park. Upstream of this crossing, a massive accumulation of woody debris blocks the channel so thoroughly that flow diverts briefly around it (to the left) before rejoining the regular channel. Just downstream, additional (lesser amounts) of blockage also occur. There is no parking along this connecting street, so the only way to have a look here is to park in a lot elsewhere in the park and take a long walk through the woods along the creek.
