River Description
Deep Creek Access: The boat ramp is on the north side of the river (river left) just prior to the concrete bridge. There is Insufficient room for multiple boats at the boat ramp, however, it is Ok to pull over 20-80 yds prior and scout it out. 2 wheel drive is OK. Park up above in the parking lot where there are public restrooms. 8.8 miles +/- to Wagon Wheel Gap boat ramp.
The Wason Railroad Bridge in this section gets hazardous at high flows due to the accumulation of debris on the pilings. Coordinates: 37.822525, -106.887945
