[edit] Hazards
This site is located just above a set of rapids and as such one must take care to know one's position to avoid being pulled down the rapids.
The current can be strong and this site should only be dove during times when the water level is low. (e.g., late summer)
Due to the abundant marine life, one can find many fishing lures and as such pay attention for fishing lines.
Broken glass.
