At 1.5'-2' (painted bridge gage in Sugar Hollow), the upper part of this run feels very similar to the upper Tye. However, the Moormans is narrower, and has more strainers than the Tye.

As long as the water authority continues to impound and divert most of the Moorman's flow (allowing the trees and brush to grow thick in the river bed), strainers will remain a problem on this section.
