Access

Type Name Elevation Camping Water Boat ramp Vehicle access Description
Put-In Grizzly Creeek rest area No No Yes All Vehicles

Narrow and steep boat ramp but good traction.  In the past the Forest Service has closed the access to the ramp allowing only foot traffic between Memorial day and Labor Day.  In 2012 they left the ramp open and it alleviated congestion on busy weekends.  The ramp crosses a bike path so use a spotter and signal (horn) while crossing.  Seperate wide stairs allow for rafts and other crafts to be carried to the river.
