Comments:
Stream sits in a historically (post-glacial) incised valley that is significantly narrower than upstream portion of reach. Appears that banks were likely historically lined with large stone, possibly (likely?) removed from stream or brought from nearby. Much of this riprap has failed over time, but large stones that have toppled into stream play a prominent role in current stream dynamics.
