Rum River, Hwy 14 State Water Access Site

The Highway 14 Bridge site provides undeveloped carry-in access to the Rum River in Cambridge, making it suitable for launching canoes and small boats when water levels are adequate. This is an informal access point rather than a developed ramp facility, so paddlers should be prepared for basic conditions. The site is open 24 hours a day unless posted otherwise.

The Rum River in this area is a gentle, leisurely paddling destination with a gradient of only 1.1 feet per mile, making it ideal for canoeists and recreational paddlers. The Highway 14 Bridge location sits near the middle section of popular float routes—it's approximately 7.2 miles downstream from Walbo Ferry Access and 7.2 miles upstream from County Road 7, offering convenient shuttle options for multi-day trips or shorter day paddles. Water levels can fluctuate seasonally, so checking conditions before your trip is recommended, especially during low water periods.
