This canoe became stuck on one of the many obstructions in the stream. Many of these obstructions are trees that fall into the river due to cut-bank erosion. The hydrualics of the river became very apparent to these canueist quite quickly. Generally the cut bank of the river has the best canoeing due to the faster flow and greater volume of water, however the greater rate of bank erosion also leads to more obstructions that are harder to avoid with the relatively fast flow. Cave Spring .
Cave spring is kind of an interesting feature.
It is possible to canoe into the cave and have the spring flow carry the canoe back out. The cave allows the students to see various erosional and depositional features associated with limestone and dolostone dominated areas. Small stalactites predominate on the cave roof. In this picture we see the instructor's canoe entering the cave. The end of the river trip.
