The area next to the river that goes through the forest.The river itself isn't very deep only about 4 feet but with a very strong current and a couple rapids. The area around the river has a very muddy ground that is very soft and will suck in your feet if you stand on it too long. The thick forest is nearby on the east side, then on the west side the "light forest" is there! The Forest is approximatly 20 feet from the river on both sides!*
