Description
The South Fork Diversion put-in marks the start of a critical river access point below the dam, requiring careful navigation from the launch. Paddlers should be prepared for potential dam-related water level fluctuations and potential hydraulic challenges in the initial section, with close attention needed to avoid any infrastructure or debris near the diversion structure.
