Side-stream cascade (park pond outflow)
Other42.99561, -87.96117

Description
Almost immediately after passing under the Kinnickinnic Parkway Road, an overflow stream from the lake/pond in Jackson Park cascades down a narrow cement sluiceway, tripping down a couple of stepped/pools on its way. (No, there's virtually no chance at all that this stepped sluice would ever be boatable. It's merely a minor 'scenic sidenote' to the river.)
The MMSD project (by my understanding) will dredge and enlarge the pond, and divert some of the flow of the river into it (as a 'detention pond'). It is possible/likely that this falls (or another replacement overflow accommodation) may then return some of that water back into the main channel.
