The public is not allowed to walk down the easy road to the base of the dam, and there are no other developed access routes. On the north side of the river the dam access road starts about .9 miles downstream and so blocks access to the river for this distance if one stays off it. Just past this road some boaters have bushwacked about a thousand feet down a hillside from the public road.
On the south side of the river there appears to be a network of logging roads, some of which get close to the river. Their condition and whether they are open to public vehicles is unclear.
The hillside near the spillway looks potentially open and promising for a descent. Rappels might be needed or helpful.
