Description

This access point on river left has been used by the paddling community for the past several years but is privately owned. Park within the highway right-of-way on the south side of Highway 2. The small pull-out with the trail to the river should only be used for loading and unloading. If Outdoor Adventure Center is using the site for a commercial trip, please be courteous and stay out of the way. Outdoor Adventure Center has managed the access on behalf of the private landowner who has a few expectations that include the following:

  • * take the shortest path to the water and avoid walking upstream to access the Split Rock feature by land (access to river features should be by water and paddlers must avoid creating new social trails along the bank and avoid approaching the private residence),

  • * refrain from using Split Rock as a bathroom,

  • * consider using Big Eddy as a meeting point for trips where a bathroom and parking is available to consolidate vehicles,

  • * avoid bringing dogs onto the property,

  • * avoid lingering (exit the river, run shuttle, load boats, and depart the area as quickly as reasonably possible) to avoid the appearance of this being a public river access or picnic site,

  • * respect commercial outfitter operations during the summer rafting season when Outdoor Adventure Center is actively using the site,

  • * do not use the access site for commercial activity (e.g. paid kayak instruction),

  • * fill out a liability waiver with Outdoor Adventure Center on an annual basis.
