After passing under the railroad trestle, the creek takes a sharp turn to the left as it encounters a wall of rock. Just beyond this point, a tree overhangs the creek from the river-right bank. Skilled paddlers should be able to negotiate this obstacle, but it merits a look before putting in. Eddies are hard to find, and moderate-to-high flows may make avoiding it difficult.
