Description
With the construction of a new bridge over the river, there is now designated river access with plenty of parking on the northwest side of the bridge. A trail leads down to the river and a sign states fishing regulations.
Downstream of J59, brush hazards are a bigger problem, along with deciding which channels to take. In a few places, the channel will split, then resplit, then filter through brush. There is generally a clear channel someplace, but it is easy to take channels that are not so clear.
