Cooper Street (ALT. In/Out)

Site of USGS gauge. For those who may wish a short trip, maximizing swiftwater/whitewater and minimizing flatwater, this may make a good alternate take-out. For those intimidated by the swiftness of the upper section (with its rocky riverbed and shoreline), this may be a better alternate put-in.

As you pass Cooper Street, and the river-left water-treatment plant (which may add some chemical smell to the flow), you begin a LENGTHY stretch of wide, almost lake-like flat water.
