Town of Index Bridge

To reach the town of Index, turn at the Mt. Index Cafe at Highway 2, mile 35.6. Continue to Index via the Index-Galena Road (which becomes Forest Road 63) to mile 1.0. Doolittle Pioneer Park (200 5th St, Index, WA 98256), on river right in town, is a common meeting point for North Fork trips and has public restrooms. You can also stop at the Outdoor Adventure Center or the local grocery store for food and drinks. A convenient take-out for the Lower Section is located on river right, just upstream of the bridge and adjacent to the park. It is suitable for hand-carry craft.
