Rock Creek

July 2020 -- Two large trees have fallen across the entire water course within 1/2 mile of Military Road. Each create a strainer. Beach Drive, which is beside Rock Creek, is currently closed to vehicles. NPS not likely to remove the two trees anytime soon.

Very large diameter tree spanning the whole creek. It's below the pedestrian bridge and the steepest white water section, but just above the Stone Bridge (Beach Dr. auto crossing). It's at the bottom of a small boogie rapid, but would sneak up on you as it's at the bottom of the bend in the river just above the Stone Beach Dr. bridge.

At the low end of runnable flows it was mostly just above water level and out of the water. We barely ducked the very right bank side of it. Higher flows would make this a dangerous spot.

It's huge and not going anywhere any time soon.
