Comments:
Segment exhibits single thread and lesser slope (<2%) in contrast to reference stream type of overall reach (D-braided, >2%); therefore, identified as a subreach. Also, channel exhibits vertical stream type departure. Channel flows across the downstream end of alluvial fan feature, but is "pinned" along the bedrock-controlled left valley wall. One camp (tree house) was identified along the left valley wall mid-segment, with a forest trail (ATV accessible) identified as an "Improved Path" leading to this camp. Segment otherwise undeveloped and forested. Historic photograph depicts impoundment at the bedrock outcropping under the East Arlington covered bridge approximately 800 feet downstream of this segment. Thus, historically, this downstream impoundment would have controlled base levels in lower part of reach T2.04.
