Comments:
This segment flows through a predominately forested corridor (except for some encroachment by the railroad). It is a channel that has incised enough to abandon an old floodplain and begin to develop a juvenile floodplain. There is not too much incision so that the stream remains unentrenched and able to store flood waters during the largest events. A large mass failure within this reach is a source of fine sediment and gravels to the downstream system. This sediment appears to be assisting the stream in rebuilding bars and floodplain downstream. Several large flood chutes exist in the channel.
