The shoreline is lined with pine, cedar and a variety of hardwoods, many of which lean over the river on their way to eventually falling into the river, as many have already have done. On a trip several years ago, we encountered a work crew from the Department of Natural Resources who were working along the shoreline with rope and chainsaws. I commented about their work to open up the river. They corrected me. They were felling more trees into the river! They explained that more fallen trees would enhance the river as a fish habitat.
