MonitoringLocationDescriptionText This sampling site is located on a riffle between two pools. The site is accessed by Eberhart trail and is located approximately 50 meters upstream from where the trail meets the river. Here the river is relatively narrow and the canyon walls tower nearly 121m (400ft) above. The substrate is composed of large cobble and boulders of various sizes. Eberhart trail is one of few trails that allow people to gain a "canyon experience"; however, the trail is rather steep, therefore this area of the river does not receive as much activity as more accessible sites. Although the limited number of people here may not pose an impact to the river, Bear Creek, another large tributary draining from the west, joins Little River only 300 meters above this sampling site. Its watershed contains many houses, new developments, and large expanses of agricultural land that could negatively impact water quality. Access is difficult and special care should be used under icy and snowy conditions.
