Description

The river is accessed by a 300’ trail to the water. Its narrow width makes it a challenging carry for rafts. The river access includes parking for 20 vehicles, a picnic table, and a vault toilet. 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. River mile 1.8.
