The scenery on this river is remarkably consistent, typified by a wooded bluff on one side and fields and farms on the other. The river is also consistent with a generally strong current broken by an occasional, tiny riffle. Unfortunately the river banks suffer from strewn trash and the water suffers from agricultural pollution. This section is relatively narrow and, though mostly flat, is quite swift. About three miles below the start there is a three-foot dam that you should carry and two others are on this route but are easily runnable.
