Description

Take out on the left just above the dam.  It will be muddy but fairly easy.    There is plenty of parking next to the dam.  The dam is often heavily used by fishermen.    The pool is very shallow in many areas.  If the water level is down there will be large areas of exposed mud flats.

An alternate take out or access point is to paddle up a side channel to Mendota Pool Park.
