There is a nasty strainer in the first significant rapid below the 1 lane bridge at Jenningston (this is the bridge downstream of the Laurel Fork confluence and upstream of both Gladys Fork confluence and the roadside Elk Lick Run put in). As you're headed downstream of the bridge you'll go down a gravel bar approaching a hard left turn where the Dry Fork runs into a cliff. Immediately after making that turn there is a large boulder in the middle of the river. Approximately 2 or 3 feet to river left of the boulder is a tree lodged parallel to the current. It can be hard to see until the last minute. Since it is pointed upstream any object that ran into it would get wedged by the current underwater. Either stay on far river left or run right of the boulder. Zack Fields (current as of April 11 2009)
