River Description

Do not park or put-in on upstream side of E1800 (18th Road) bridge, and do not paddle upstream of bridge, at request of property owner.
Alternate put-in is near Pine Hills Golf Course near Stoneyville.

When there is sufficient water, this is a fast fun little run as a warm-up or 'chaser' for a run on the Vermilion. Much swiftwater, riffles and rips, and a few good playable rapids.

Be careful in 2nd rapid with bridge debris. Also, beware golfers with a mean slice on 4th hole.
