River Description

Lat/lng are based only upon listed put-in/take-out locales.

Based upon those results, however, the reach appears to be much longer than what is listed.

(Driving directions yield 54.5 miles, and river-miles should be at least that, if these assumptions about in/out locations are correct.)

Anyone with more specific information is encouraged to provide it in the "Comments" section.
