Citizens traveling northwest of Hastings to Airport Road by the Thornapple River are reporting the waters under the old train trestle is jammed with logs and brush and is difficult to get through. One man broke his wrist in the area. A small opening on the southwest or left side is blocked by a log and boaters must get out of the canoe to get over it. The current is very strong due to the reductions in space where water is being pushed. This area is called “strainer” and can create dangerous currents which may capsize or trap boaters. Please use caution when boating in the area. The banks are very steep and difficult to portage around the trestle.
