Rotten Gut River
Course

The Rotten Gut River rises to the south-west of Comfort Hall, a small village, and flows south, then west then north in a large loop through the hamlet of Dick or Duck Pond, which brings it back to the same latitude it started from before heading generally north-west to its confluence with the One Eye River.
The Wording in Finchman 1998 implies that the section of the One Eye River from its confluence with the Rotten Gut River to the Wallingford Sink is sometimes (wrongly) called Rotten Gut River.
Infrastructure
This being a short river there is very little infrastructure, just two road bridges:
- A road bridge over the river in Dick or Duck Pond.
- A road bridge over the river in Comfort Hall.
It is perhaps worth noting that the river is significant enough to cause the railway to follow just to the south of it as it makes its large loop to the south through Dick or Duck Pond hamlet.
