Comments:
Channel is incised. A VAST trail crossing down near the confluence with the mainstem has a double culvert, one of which is completely smashed flat. The flow was going under and to the side of that culvert. A ditch on the left bank between the channel and the field has captured half of the flow here. This could be due to an old DJ and avulsion and could also be related to back up from the VAST culverts.
