Oakland Avenue (old post-pile)

Immediately upstream of W.Oakland Avenue, a row of cut off wooden posts jut vertically in the streambed (undoubtedly remnants of a long defunct horse-and-carriage bridge).

While any rapids here may merit no more than class I-II rating, the high potential for snags and difficult maneuvering suggest a much higher skill-level may be required!

We strongly advise looking upstream and downstream from the Oakland Avenue bridge to assure both ways look clear of obstructions before putting onto the creek!

Downstream of the bridge, private properties flank the stream, making it impossible to walk this stretch to scout for blockages. Having walked it at low water, I can attest that it was clear of any blockages as of spring, 2026, but that could change at any time.
