Description

During fall releases, park vehicles in this large area next to Piru Canyon Road, where a side road drops down to the base of the dam. Look for a sign identifying the parking area. United Water Conservation District will bring vehicles to shuttle you down to the creek. Have all your gear ready to transfer to the shuttle vehicle when you get there.

The shuttle service and access here is only available during the fall release, on Saturdays and Sundays, from 9 am to 3 pm. The parking lot will be closed and locked after 4 pm. This put in is not available at any other time.
