Cummings Cr enters the Tucannan River about 200 yards upstream fo the bridge crossing the Tucannan R; enter via a F&W turnout. The reach starts about 50 yards upstream from the mouth. There is moderate bank erosion from a treefall on the right bank. Riffle sample 4 is located in a braided section that is probably due to the erosion.
