Says barb markleton to fort hill is an absolutely beautiful section of river. i highly recommend it but i may be biased since i own some property on the river. very remote except near the bridges where you'll find a few houses. other than that, you have the railroad and the recently opened bike trail. a curse     and a blessing.
