Description

The Nordheimer River Access is behind the campground; just follow the road through the camping area and it continues down to a parking area near the river and the mouth of Nordheimer Creek. This road was repaired in summer 2024 and is currently in good condition.

The information board at the put-in is usually devoid of any information, and it is not regularly maintained by the US Forest Service. There is an excellent whitewater map of the entire watershed in the Nordheimer Campground next to its three information boards at the front of the campground and on the access road to the put-in.
