Put-In Parking - "Old Abe" Wayside

The usual Put-in parking lot when group shuttling. Follow the trail down to the river.

A better put in spot is 500 feet north on 178 past the old bridge. A historical marker and picnic area provides a parking lot and easy access to the river. The river is very shallow and a short walk up river is required during normal level. This put in allows you to get lined up on the river left chute below the bridge. This is a narrow chute that starts with a left turn into a gradual slope downstream. During normal levels, there are 2 rocks at the end of the chute. A hard right is required, although I have managed to canoe through them.

Those using this parking/access should stop at the sign-in location to show that you're using this resource in order to continue recreational releases for the future.
