Description
Wildwood Park is on the north side of the river, on the east side of Freeway 41. The parking/loading area is a ways from the river, so boaters must carry their boats to and from the river.
Upstream of the Freeway 41 bridges, the river splits. Both channels get tight and technical as they near the bridge. Tree and brush hazards here are especially bad at high flows and a boater lost her life here during high flows one year when she was pinned by the boat against an obstacle.
