River Description

The steepest mile is near the end and includes "Dreaded Drop" a irregular 8-10 slide. At higher water levels this drop can develop nasty hydraulics.
At higher water levels take caution approaching the take-out since a culvert bridge is immediately downstream and likes to collect debris.
