About 2 miles from the put-in there is a rope strung across the river for no apparent reason. Watch out that you don't get decapitated. Someone needs to cut it. It is a hazard and blocks a legally navigable waterway.
--------------
Also, be aware that there is a log just under the water at the entrance to the left hand arch under the Division St Bridge. I would recommend avoiding that arch and sticking to the center or right hand one, especially under 500 cfs. Concur with the main page that this bridge should be scouted before running.
--------------
As for parking at the put-in, you need to park in the circular driveway in front of the old factory and call the number on the 'FOR RENT' sign in front of the building. Yesterday the number was faded to the point of not being visible and when we met Fred (the property owner) he agreed to let me write the number back on the sign. So it is there now.

As for putting in, Fred is fine with folks doing it upstream from the Canoga bridge on river left, just upstream of the asphalt pad and mown area adjacent to the river.
