Eastwood MetroPark main parking access

Mad River - Mad River Run (OH)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 700.0 – 3,000.0 CFS
Description

Access point near the main parking lot of Eastwood MetroPark. From the river, look for a small beach on river left just above the old second drop. From the parking lot, go toward the shelter and look for a gap in the trees. The two are connected by a steep, but manageable slope.

I suppose you can put in here if you want to completely avoid Bernie's Hole, but otherwise there's not much point in using this as a planned access. This is more useful as an emergency access point (in case of injury, etc.) or as a place to stop for a bathroom break (there are restrooms on the opposite side of the parking lot).
