Trip Report

ReporterTony Allred

Again in 2016, the gate at the Jones Road take-out will be closed from Memorial Day weekend (May 28, 2016) through Labor Day weekend (September 5, 2016). This has been confirmed with the Park on April 28, 2016. The closure is because of overuse and trash accumulations at Jones Road over the last few summers (Also, US 40 in the vicinity of the river has been marked 'No Parking'). According to the Park, the Jones Road parking area should be open prior to May 28, 2016 and after September 5, 2016. For a more detailed description of the river with current warnings,
