Description

Parking is very good at this location, with a graveled area spanning the NE corner at the intersection of streets. Unfortunately, the river banks are VERY high and steep right at the nearest point to this parking. It may be easiest to get out at the first good spot after passing under the bike path (former railroad), but BEFORE passing under 13th Avenue. Otherwise, pass under 13th Avenue, go around the left-bend, and a good ways down along Hwy.A to find reasonable egress before or at the Hwy.A road bridge.

Yes, it is possible to proceed all the way to Lake Michigan, but there is nothing of whitewater interest in that entire stretch.
