Here is a photo of the upper, middle and lower reaches we plan to restore March 10-14 if the weather cooperates. Right now, the snow cover on the ground is our only obstacle, but next week and the following week we think we'll see some thawing. We need to grub boulders off the Hunterdon Park's hillside for the project, otherwise, working in a heated machine in the river doesn't matter if it remains cold. Flows are actually low right now.
upper stretch below nice riffles:
middle stretch where it is very wide and an island (medial bar) sets up in low flows:
lower stretch just above the "S-Bend" with badly eroding banks:
