DESCRIPTION:
WEST END LAUNCH: The west end has an unusual designation. It's outlet flows in both directions, depending on what time of the year it is.
There are only a few streams in the U.S. that do that.
This is a very busy fishing spot for those without a boat.
PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK THE LAUNCH AREA.
