Trees protect southern Indiana streams from kayakers. They usually collect on the deep side, the outside, of a bend and the inside is usually shallow - sometimes too shallow to float. Usually there is enough water near the downed trees to allow passage without getting scraped off your kayak or hitting a submerged tree part at the wrong angle and getting upside down in the creek. The camera looks directly downstream in the picture and the path does not look promising but when you paddle in to take a look, you find you can pick you way through this debris. Why is this so much fun?
