This hiking trail access point on the South Fork Merced River in Mariposa County provides foot access to the river for paddlers and boaters. The location is positioned in the Sierra Nevada foothills region, which is known for seasonal whitewater activity. As a trail-based access rather than a developed boat ramp, users should expect a carry-in approach to reach the water. The South Fork Merced offers whitewater paddling opportunities, particularly during spring snowmelt and after significant rainfall when water levels rise.
