Description
The road to the powerhouse is usually gated. Even if it is not, don't park down there. Park at the main lot to the right of the main intersection. Carry 2/10 of a mile to the educational center then turn right down past another gate and go 4/10 of a mile to the powerhouse. From the powerhouse parking area it is a short but steep and awkward carry down to an awkward launch point on the river. Ropes can be handy and will be necessary for rafts.
