Grant Street (Former Put-in)

For years the recommended put-in was thru woods just north of 949 N. Grant Street.

THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR MULTIPLE REASONS!

1) The owners at 949 own the adjacent wooded lots. You are trespassing unless you knock on their door, find someone home, and get permission to access the creek here. (That said, it's unlikely anyone will actually notice you if you quietly carry down and don't dally on shore before paddling away.)

2) More importantly, deadfall often blocks shore-to-shore from here to Krueger Falls. It will be awkward to portage multiple times (in just this quarter-mile of creek, with no real whitewater action).

A few folks expressed interest in trying to start at Hwy.LL, or Mink Ranch Road. That would add minimal gradient and rapids, and guaranteed plenty of additional deadfall encounters and portages. In short, don't bother trying to put-in anywhere upstream!
