River Description
William Gilbert wrote, in Nov. 2000:
Chestnut is a nice creek to run -- beginners can run it with no problems. If you make the run
down to the river then you will have to get out and scout one fall (Chestnut Falls); its about an
8-ft drop. Run river right and you will flow down a chute. When the water is up you can go a few
diferent ways, but only rarely does the water get that high
May everyone have a safe float,
