General Overview

"Mike" wrote in Boater Talk, "there is on old dam type structure ... that turns into a great hole(s) ... A little shallow ... it is river wide with many breaks in it for easy outs. It is so old, it looks like a natural feature in terms of variations of the holes."

David Weber says, in Boater Talk, "The spot is about a 20-minute paddle upstream (0.5 mile NorthWest) from that bridge ... on the river right side of the first large island you get to."

This is just 3.7 miles (as the crow flies) away from Briggs Woods Spillway, so (when it's running) could be a 'two-fer' or each a 'back-up' plan for the other.
