Root River Old Garden River : Root River

The rocks are uneven on the walk down the hill to the shoreline. Grassess have grown that have made it difficult to see where to safely put feet as walking down. Be careful.
There was fishing line found once again. The river was barely moving but can be seen with flow upstream and just below the sampling location. There was some fish fry present, approx. 8-10. There was iron oxidizing bacteria on the right bank in two areas showing orange and red hues leaching from the substrate. There was no wildlife seen. No birds.
