Description
Camp Drive Bridge Access marks the put-in for the Shade Creek run, providing paddlers access to a section characterized by tight, technical navigation through a boulder-strewn riverbed. The entry point requires careful boat positioning and precise maneuvering to avoid potential pinning hazards on submerged rocks and potential low-water obstructions, with paddlers needing to read the water carefully and maintain an aggressive line to successfully navigate the initial stretch.
