WHERE:
DIRECTIONS:
Put-In: While it's possible to get in at Clark Road, we recommend the longer trip from River Creek Campground to River Road (about 8 miles). No official or public put-in here, though people have scrambled up sand bank of dredging company on left bank before bridge. Please note you are trespassing if exiting here though the property owner doesn't chase people off as long as you avoid the area during dredging operations.
Take-Out: No official or public take-out here, though the property owners there are OK with limited paddler use on the left bank before the bridge. Please park only near bridge on Thompson Lake Road. Do not park in field farther down Thompson Lake Rd. The informal access is directly under the bridge.
It protects the environment and prevents you from getting lost.
