Root River

Fish in the water. Massive thunderstorm a day before.

People picnicking nearby, and fishing. Frog near the bank.

People are fishing with their dog.

Watch out for beavers. New engineering activity form a beaver, possibly a family. Last week there was only few trees down and this week many of them are gone.

There is overflow on the path headed to the sample area. Be careful on the edge of the bank, slightly eroding, and water is moving very fast. Not advised to enter waterway. There were lots of shrubs cut down - about 25% of the riparian.

There was dog waste on the beach in the surrounding area.

The cliffs on right bank are eroding, water is high and fast moving could not cross safely. Need to find access across river at different location to take bank and wetted measurements

Path to river is slippery, snow covered path. The cliffs on right bank are eroding, water is high and fast moving, could not cross safely.

Not safe to access the site. This layer of ice on both edges of the river. We cannot see the bank.

Might be accessible next week. Beaver tracks and evidence of eating tree stumps, an area totally covered with ice on banks but can see clear water in the middle. Some woody debris left and right bank
