River Description

See the New York Exposed book for the description. It is a small creek with many ledges visible from the road. There are drops above and below the Route 5 bridge. Be sure to scout.

This was suggested on the 'to-do' list in Dennis Squires' book. It was first run in the Spring of 2005.
