Once all channels have rejoined, the rocky intrusions largely end. You can either carry back up to the dam and your vehicle(s) (if/when parking and access are available off 74th Avenue at the dam), or ... It may be necessary to access from "Area 178" (a park with off-road biking trails, and access for the "Old Abe Trail"). This will allow you to just head downstream in the full flow of the river, come ashore at Hwy.178 (Seymore Cray Sr. Blvd), and carry back to your vehicle.
