Description

Driving to Dixon Ford requires high clearance and 4WD, crossing a giant mudhole, and turning around in very little space. You'll cross at least one, if not two small streams (depending on how much rain has fallen) but once you've hit the main river there will be a small primitive camping area on the left side of the road, and the main river in front of you... This is the put in. Don't try to ford the river at floatable levels in a vehichle, it probably won't end well. You can park in the primitive camping area, just past the mudhole on the right where a number of trees have been cut down, or before the mudhole in a dead end spur with an old gate. Do not block the main road to the river, as other boaters might be putting in after you, and the road is used by off-road vehicles in all weather.
