Description
Thrifts Ferry Access Parking serves as a critical put-in and take-out point for paddlers running Section 3 of the Chattooga River. While not a technical rapid itself, the parking area provides essential access to the river and requires careful vehicle navigation on potentially uneven terrain. Paddlers should be prepared for limited parking space and potential seasonal access restrictions.
