River Description

Put In
Beacroft Trailhead: topozone map, google map.
Bottom of trail at Tadpole Creek: topozone map, google map. Elevation = 2850 feet.

Take Out: Boaters can stop at Euchre Bar topozone map google map and hike up a trail to Euchre Bar Trailhead topozone map google map, but this forces a 50 mile shuttle that takes an hour and a half each direction. Most boaters continue on through Giant Gap to exit at Colfax-Iowa Hill Rd. topozone map, google map. This shuttle is about 30 miles and takes about an hour each way. Others continue on through the Chamberlain Falls section to Colfax-Foresthill Rd. topozone map, google map which reduces the shuttle to 28 miles and less than an hour each way.
