It's also very easy to put in at the west end of the route 28 bridge that's right in Big Indian.
Put in on the upstream side, which is actually Birch creek perhaps 150 yards upstream of the
Esopus. You can then park in the small park by the east end of the bridge. You'll have some fast,
narrow stuff to start with, so be vigilant for strainers. At moderately high water I didn't think
this was much more than class 2, but a roll and the ability to stop could be very important. About
1/2 mile below route 28 is the bridge for Firehouse Road. Shortly below this is an abrupt drop with
a horizon line. I'm not sure if it collects wood, but it would be a very good idea to scout this
ahead of time. I'd guess that about 400 to 500 cfs on the Allaben gauge is pretty low. 1000 was
fast and fluid.
