Remediation Rips

As you pass under the 45th Street Bridge, you encounter an area of 'remediated' streambed. Wall-to-wall cement has been removed and large quarried rock lines the river bed and banks. This creates a swift but minor choppy rips. Anyone so unfortunate as to flip or swim here is likely to be punished by multiple impacts with shallow quarried rock in very swift currents.

Do not try to stand in any strong flow, as foot entrapment, bruises, broken bones, and worse are a serious possibility. (If you don't know what 'foot entrapment' means, and the serious danger that it represents, please do yourself a favor and do some research on it.)
