The fishing pier offers a straightforward, controlled egress with minimal technical challenges, allowing boaters to safely exit the river and retrieve their gear. Paddlers should be aware of potential boat traffic and fishing activity near the pier, and ensure a careful approach to avoid entanglement with fishing lines or other watercraft.
