First Boulder Choke

The creek splits around a rather sun-hat-shaped island.

The right (south) channel around the island carries the bulk of the flow, and is the recommended route. It has nothing of any interest since it bypasses the bolder choke in the left channel.

To the left (north), a lesser channel feeds into a ponded area. This inlet is extremely shallow. Even at relatively high flows, expect to be scraping the sand/muck bottom and having to 'pole' with your paddle to move through here. Once you arrive into the pond, depth improves as you paddle past houses and back yards. The outflow from the pond drops across the first 'boulder choke'. However, at most flows it'll be hard to find a clear path through this choke. Expect to be scraping across rocks, or portaging.
