Funny, that's perhaps the first time in the last six years I've been accused of "scaring people off the river"

It is in the upper end as I posted. The channel you're referring to Ryan no longer exists, the small channel that went to the left there is now the main channel of the river and the sweeper is located just below that ... for the rest of you, about 1/2 mile into the Park Line float. You could get around it at extreme high water ... but at nomral flows, I don't know if it's possible, and don't guess that you might get around it going left, you won't!

Unless the high water option hangs in there at normal flows ... you gotta make sure you bail out and then you'll probably have to drag your boat.
