Description

To cut off ~1 mile of flatwater, you could put-in here. However, both 115th Street and this parkway tend to have a surprising amount of traffic (so it's not a good location to change into or out of boating gear, or to dally at all on what should be a 'stealth operation' to put on). It also lacks the convenience of facilities which the listed put-in has.

Various clumps of evergreens and other brush (notably immediately opposite 117th Street) make a handy marker and may provide some cover for your covert operation (stealth put-in). It's a short carry across the grass, behind these trees, down the bank, to find a spot that will hold your boat steady before you slide into the cement ditch.

Alternate Put-in: 117th&Parkway Road
