Where the right branch of the river goes under the road, there is a large log jammed sideways through the end of the culvert, which seems deadly.
The lower section of the left branch, once you get much below the twin culverts there, has gotten very overgrown and unpleasant.
This leaves a still somewhat enjoyable run (by local standards), where you start up at the gate below the reservoir, run down, take the left branch, run the weir drop, descend through the twin culverts and down the last tiny drop. Then take out immediately (on the right if you can), and hike over to the right branch below the road, and run down to the big drop.
