River Description

Generally a pleasant easier run in this mecca of creek runs. Caution should be excercised at a ledge sequence encountered about a mile and a half into the run and the ledge visible from the wayside just downstream of Hwy 61. Can be used as a warm-up or wind-down in conjunction with adjacent creeks.
