River Description

This tiny river tends to take its gradient in big chunks. There are four sections of elevated gradient, each dropping 50-60' fairly quickly. The second portion of the first of these is essentially unrunnable due to an overhanging rock at the bottom of a tight, steep slot/flume. The not so steep portions of the run are essentially a pleasant bobble through the woods.

The lower gradient portions of the run are fairly clear of wood for a stream this small but unfortunately, logs gather in quantity in some of the drops, rendering them unrunnable in part or whole. The final big drop can be seen by walking several hundred yards up from the 550 bridge but keep in mind that here, like along much of this run, the property is privately held.
