Fun little run, when everything else is high. I put in several miles up Ogle creek road, where the stream is just a few boat lengths across. I ran it in the summer, and the upper section was a green tunnel, with the trees bending over the opposite banks, and intertwining. Be careful in this section, as there were several strainers, in fast current. Once you come parallel to route 60, things start to open up, and shortly you'll encounter several decent sized ledges in succession. The tallest probably drops around 5 feet. It's an easy bike shuttle, for those so inclined
