As a take-out location at Manor Road Bridge, this access point serves paddlers completing runs on Little Walnut Creek. The site is positioned in a lower portion of the watershed relative to the creek's 19.4-mile total length. Paddlers should be aware of the creek's 9.3 foot per mile gradient and plan accordingly based on current water levels and flow conditions. The bridge crossing provides vehicle access and a natural reference point for shuttle logistics.
