River Description

This run takes a large rain to pop up and doesn't last long, but it is easy to get to for an after work paddle. Bring shoulder pads and a full face if you plan to run the main event, it is a sharp shale shelf.

Put in at either of the river parks upstream of Delaware Ave/443.  Take out at the Rt.32 bridge in the parking lot on river right.

Water quality is decent, but expect to see a lot of debris from the Irene flood towards the bottom.  There is at least one F150 in the stream.
