Description

Trail down to the access for the Middle Run. This access is at a small pull-out at Forest Road 29 mile 14.3. You can head to the right and find a gully to scramble down into the North Fork. Using this route requires a rappel down the edge of an approximately 30' waterfall on the North Fork just upstream of the confluence with the Sitkum. An alternative shorter route (unmarked) is available by heading off towards the left from the pull out (this is the access illustrated in Korb's guidebook). It too requires rope to lower the boats down although you won't need to rappel. Either way don't expect the put-in to be particularly user friendly.
