Selecting An Ideal Stream Crossing Location

Selecting the location of a stream crossing is just as important as determining the type of crossing to install. When choosing crossing locations, you should look for the following:

• Narrow stream sections
• Straight (not in a curve)
• Flat ground
• Low flow
• Stable banks
• Good access to tract

Think about how you would evaluate the stream on the left for the above listed factors and then think about how you would cross it.
