Description

PG&E has built a parking area with pit toilets on the hill above the river just dowstream of the Fall River confluence.  Parking spots are limited and there is no room for trailers.

A nice trail leads down to a low weir across the river. It is easy to launch above this weir into a flat pond area. There is gap in the weir on river right that should have a reasonable route. It could have obstacles in it, so always double check. The weir itself is very low and could be scraped over at various points, but trees and bushes grow all across the river below the weir on shallow ledges. Most of the width is obstructed.

The maintained trail ends at the weir but a rough use trail wanders over low rocks and through trees to access the open flat water below the trees. 

Kayakers could easily carry past the weir on the trail, but groups carrying rafts would have a more difficult time.
