River Description

Bobby Miller: I made a rare descent of Cattail Run today near my house with my friend Jeff Cogle! We had both heard that there was a waterfall down in there so we decided this morning was a perfect time to go explore! The creek is very small but was a fun run down fast water. The waterfall was pretty cool too.
