Bower Creek

This shot shows (blurred in the background) the lower part of the initial dells sequence, and the typically overhanging branches which make scouting this drop (before putting on) so important. Any wood in this area, or low-hanging branches, could be catastrophic if you just came screaming around the bend without first having scouted, since the current will be fast, and there will be no good eddies nor any reasonable way to get out to portage. You would be swept into whatever lay in (or low over) the river.
