Put in at the Hwy 76 bridge and took out at North Horseshoe bridge. All the rapids were in the park. There's a few class I riffles after the park but that's it. At the put in on Hwy 76 we parked on the west end of the bridge, south side of the road. That land is owned by Chau Ram park. We put our boats in on the north side of the road though. It's extremely steep but doable. At the take out we parked on the southwest end of the bridge, southeast side of the road. It's steep and messy here but it's the best option.  There are posted signs all around the bridge but if you park on the shoulder of the road it's all good. The person that owns the land where I'm talking about parking doesn't live there anyway. The other sides of the bridge have posted signs with houses right beside the bridge. We had no issues but the posted signs didn't inspire confidence. We're considering just taking one vehicle next time and parking in the park and carrying our boats up the river above park entrance rapid and running down through glass rapid and then carrying out.
