Summary Information
Fish Passability 0
Fish Passage is an area of concern for this site.
Velocity at inlet is extremely fast, too fast for most fish species.
A future visit to this site is recommended. Erosion of banks, lots of impounded water, and dramatic increases of flow velocities at culvert.
These non-native species were observerd at this site: Queen Anne's Lace, Zebra Mussel, Spotted Knapweed
