This access point serves as a natural take-out for the downstream section of Four Mile Creek. The water conditions here reflect the creek's whitewater character, with currents and gradient that require intermediate to advanced paddling skills depending on water levels and specific section difficulty. Boaters should be prepared for moving water and plan their shuttle accordingly. The creek's elevation drop of 581 feet over its 41.51-mile length creates numerous opportunities for different paddling sections with varying difficulty levels.
