There has to be an easier way to get to this place. Does anyone know if there is a service road along the power lines?
Anyway, from Gilkey, at the end of the trail and a tree has fallen over the old spillway, which obstructs the waterflow. The upstream side of the tree/spillway is the put in. The play holes and old dam are upstream a bit and not visible from the put-in. Once you get to the hole it is fun (even in low water) but a bit of work to get there. Coming back take the main river back to the side of the school parking lot and avoid a walk.
