Facebook GroupA series of rock rapids very small cascades running behind the university. I've been told by a few students that the cascades are very, very low, but that it is a picturesque spot. The rapids stretch over a few hundred metres distance.
Bedrock streams are a lot different than alluvial streams, which are those where the stream bed and banks are composed of unconsolidated sediments, like sand, silt and clay. They are quite rare (except for around waterfalls), and thus waterfallogists start to get a little excited when they find them, even if there isn't much of a falls!
The driving and parking coordinates lead to the university. I'm not sure if there is a place to park for free, and you may need to search for the right parking spot. University grounds are normally considered to be publically accessible, but this web site does not guarantee that one can access this location.
