Little River

Just passed the bridge on Cool Waters Camp Road, about 1 mile below the White Rock Creek takeout, there are a series of houses on river left. On Sunday 4/08/2018 there was a group of three men on the porch of a blue house that made 'shooting' gestures toward our group as we portaged a log (on river right below the high water mark). At first I didn't think anything of it, but then a member of the group and his lady-friend met us at the Emile Creek takeout and claimed the river was non-navigable, private property, and that they purchased the land and the river for their private use. The gentleman was not threatening, but was quite firm. Douglas County Sheriff will be notified. To avoid these misinformed landowners, you can take out upstream of the Cool Waters Camp Road bridge. Or, if doing the lower section, simply put-in at Emile Creek Access.
