RIVER: The Middle Branch flows past the cabin over gravel and boulders, with riffles and fallen timber, on a river system known for its trout, salmon, and steelhead.
Brown trout around 18 inches have been spotted right from the bank. A heavy-duty steel-framed bridge with a plank deck crosses the river to a mowed trail and the woods beyond.
