08/30/2004 Fiona Rattray (Avg: 2.04 Review) - Viz is limited, the attractions are the drift and the possibility of finding antiques from the War of 1812; all I've found is beer bottles, golf balls and shotgun shells, but it's a heck of a drift!
02/16/2004 J C (Avg: 2.91 Review) - Enter at the boat launch for easy entry. Takes almost an hour to reach the bridge where you can have a easy exit. Best to exit on the north side of the bridge for an easy pick up. Fun drift dive with old cars and lots of golf balls.
