Some road maintenence over the last couple of years has improved parking along the road at various access points. It's still not great, but there are improved pull offs for 2-3 vehicles in places where there used to be 1 truck pothole parking. An improvement indeed. The put in trail we used (the downstream most access point on the map) had some blackberry encroachment. It's fine, but ocassional clipper maintenence would be appreciated. The takeout trail had minimal (but not zero) poison oak. Nice day with more water than expected.
