Description

This was the standard put-in location to use before the official parking area and put in trail were constructed.   When Willow Creek has enough flow, kayakers can launch into the creek at the road bridge and boat the .35 of a mile to the river.  It can be very brushy.

There is usually a thick growth of bushes across the main river downstream of Willow Creek. They grow in the shallow sediment that gets carried down Willow Creek and deposited in the relatively wide and slow main river channel.
