I found that the quality of the water was good for the most part.

My research tells me that the Swannanoa River is in high quality with good treatment.
There was no barrier to fish movements.
The surface water appearance is clear.
The stream bed deposit at the bottom of the stream is brown.
There is no odor.
The bed sinks beneath your feet in a few spots.
The stream channel shade is high.
The stream bank erosion is moderate.
The stream bank composition is 60% trees, 20% shrubs, 10% grass, and 10% rocks.
The riffle composition is 80% silt, 19% sand, and 1% boulders.
