For those of us rowing wooden boats, be advised that at the low water level now on the McKenzie, there is a tough spot right by the ODOT gravel storage just below Greenwood Drive. As always, the river wants to push you into a root wad on the right bank after the pour off. But now, when you just miss the root wad, you can hit some nasty submerged rocks on the mid-to-left channel. I won't be taking passengers through there until the river rises.
