Description

The typical access point is Deer Creek Ramp, at mile 4.5 on the Banks-Lowman Road. At most flows the Deer Creek ramp is a super fun seal launch. Just don't put your hands down while sliding, you'll get terrible splinters. At low flows there are exposed rocks at the bottom that can break your boat, if you can see them, then likely the flow is too low to use the ramp. If the ramp needs to be bypassed, there are stairs that can be used to climb down to the water with some flatish rocks to launch off of.
