The trestle can be seen behind the sign.  It begs the question of the purpose of the sign, west of the trestle, when so few boats have access to the waterway and no agency has shown any interest in enforcement.

The iron strap, presumably from a box car, is at the lower left of the photo.  It was placed there after being removed from the creek.  The discarded concrete flotsam is to the right of the photo.

Boaters beware!  The current rips through this narrow passage beneath the FEC trestle.  It is the only way in.  It is the only way out.
