The river narrows as it flows past a few houses and lots of overhanging trees. The banks are thick with wild grapes and blackberries, and big orb spiders.
This interesting dirt bluff is about halfway from the road 216 put-in to Woodlake.
This large diversion structure divides the river into the St. John's river to the right and Mill Creek to the left.
The reversals on this weir look to be of the classic death trap variety.
Looking upstream from the walkway on the diversion weir at McKay Point. You can hear the noise from the drop, for a long ways upstream and the current slows to a crawl. Portage on river right, close to the weir.
