Description

At high flows, golf cart bridges are likely to be problematic, making the upstream put-in inadvisable (since portaging within the golf club is very likely to be highly contested), and making this location the upstream-most reasonable put-in.

There is no parking in this vicinity, so you might need to have a shuttle buddy/bunny drop you off, and then drive to take out to wait for you there, or get creative in some other fashion to be able to launch from here. (Also likely need to do a 'commando-raid' style put-in: be all suited up, ready to grab your gear and go, to reduce risk of 'interference'.)
