This access at the immediately upstream of the Chewuch River is the uppermost put-in for most floaters. Downstream of this point the river is more open and wood tends to be less of a hazard (although still present). In early spring this is a good access for rafts. In late summer when the water is warmer, this is a popular access for tubers. American Whitewater has supported efforts by the City of Winthrop to make modest improvements to this access point given the high level of use it receives. The access is located at Highway 20 mile 192.6 on the west side of town. The Red Barn should be obvious. Head towards the back of the parking lot towards the river for easy access suitable for rafts.
