The confluence of E. Fork of Sixmile and Canyon Creek is a common access point for boaters just wanting to run First Canyon. There's no boat ramp and you must navigate a little brush to get to your vehicle from the river, so not particularly good access for rafts. It's great for kayakers and packrafters, however, not feeling up to the challenge of the lower canyons. You can reach this spot via a large dirt lot on the right immediately after turning onto the Hope Road. There's a bathroom here and a dirt road that curls down to parking beside Canyon Creek. Three-and-a-half miles of mellow and beautiful class II paddling follow.
