This photo was taken from a canoe in the lower Big River. Note the embedded wood in the stream bank which is a relic of the old railroad bed which ran along the river here. The alder roots help stabilize the old road bed which restricts the river sometimes cutting off old salt marshes behind the berm. Photo courtesy of Rixanne Wehren. 1/94.
