About This Access Site
Frenchmans Flat serves as a whitewater take-out point on Piru Creek in Los Angeles County. As a take-out location, this site is primarily designed for paddlers finishing a whitewater run rather than launching. The site provides access to Piru Creek, which is known for whitewater paddling opportunities in the region. Boaters taking out at this location should be prepared for the typical conditions of a working take-out site where shuttle logistics are important for multi-day or point-to-point trips.
