Description

Craigs Beach River Access is along the lower reach of the paved lower South Fork Road and features a parking area for 10-20 vehicles, picnic table, and vault toilet. A 300-foot-long trail connects the parking area to the river bar. Its narrow width makes it a challenging carry for rafts. It serves as the take-out for the Class III run upstream and as the put-in for the Class IV/V South Fork Gorge.
