Upper limit for best boatability uncertain. Please help your fellow boaters with a comment or report.
The usual put-in for the North Fork Tye is at the confluence with White Rock Creek. This is around 3 miles above the church take-out. There is a one-lane bridge and a sign that says "Rainbow Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary." Park before the bridge, leaving plenty of room for other vehicles to park, or pass by on the road. Respect private property. There is not much parking at the put-in so please try to minimize the number of cars going to the put-in.
