About a quarter mile above the Nozzle, there is a large tree that spans almost the entire length of the river (about 3 feet of clearance to the bank on river right). Not a fun move to get to for rafts or cats, as you have to maneuver around a large rock upstream, but a kayak can probably make it. This tree could be around for a long time.
