Notes

The water level is lower; therefore had to get off the trail and go near the water. Boulder are uneven, so watch your footing. Water flow is very strong, so please do not enter the water.
Park/Recreation is a pollution source in the immediate surroundings.
Lots of bare vegetation around, but are getting back to life.
