Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportRan a very small section of the lower end of this run today and i wouldn't recommend it.
At state street there are two metal pipes under the bridge that are about 5 inches above the water and are impassable but difficult to see. There is another river wide pipe a few tenths of a mile above state street also that we had to portage (about 6 inches above the water).
Other than that the run didn't have strainers but was brushy and the river bed was full of trash to ~ commerce street. Didn't run below or above the section right around state so i can't comment but wouldn't be surprised if it was full of similar hazards
