Reach Information:

There is an impassable waterfall located at the upstream end of this reach. Passage to this reach to salmon and steelhead was facilitated in 2000, by the replacement of a concrete box culvert at the mouth with an open-arch culvert. There are also two culverts that impede the movements of juvenile fish in the reach.
