You can find out about Obstructions on the River by looking at the online map, Obstructions are listed only when we are aware of them. Please be responsible of your own paddle route as the map may not have up to date information.
The goal is to list sections of the river where there are downed trees and other impediments to paddling. The ultimate goal is to clear these impediments while doing no harm to living creatures whose habitat is on the river.
