Danskin Station Take-Out

The primary take-out, and the one most commonly used by rafts, is located at the Danskin Station River Access (Highway 17, mile 19.5). This is a formal river access site with a steep set of stairs connecting the river to the parking area. For rafters, a wooden raft slide can be used to move boats uphill, but it remains a strenuous task requiring boats to be carried up the bank approximately 100 vertical feet. This is another good reason to pack rafts lightly for the trip.

The parking area is a fee site, with a cost of $3 per day or $20 for a Payette River system season pass. Season passes can be purchased at Forest Service offices and a number of local retail outlets. Day passes can be purchased at the access site.
