Notes

The site is safe to access, there is some overflow over the path- so please wear boots. Do not enter the water as it is very high and strong and above a metre.
Park/Recreation is also a pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
There was a beaver seen on the water by the old Beaver lodge of 2024. Dragonflies spotted on the water and on shoreline. Debris piles everywhere- not from beaver but naturally brought down stream.
