Unmarked take-out upstream of class IV+ gorge

This is an unmarked take-out point located upstream of a Class IV+ gorge section on the South Fork Salmon River in Siskiyou County, California. The site serves as an exit point for whitewater paddlers who have navigated the challenging gorge section below. Given its position upstream of significant whitewater, this take-out is designed for boaters exiting before entering the more dangerous rapids downstream.

As an unmarked site, paddlers should be familiar with the river and aware of its location, as there are no signs or obvious indicators from the road or water. This take-out is most suitable for experienced whitewater kayakers and canoeists who are comfortable with Class IV+ rapids and self-rescue techniques. The unmarked nature of the access point means amenities are likely minimal or non-existent, and boaters should be self-sufficient regarding parking, shuttle arrangements, and safety equipment.
