Saw Pit Flat River Access

The Saw Pit Flat River Access is commonly used as an take-out to shorten the run and avoid its most difficult section, the Indian Point Gorge which is about two miles downstream. The river access is at milemark 3.8 on Sawyers Bar Road. Someone stole its river access sign along Sawyers Bar Road in 2024, but the dirt road leading the river is pretty easy to find.

This is the last drive-up river access upstream of Indian Point Gorge (Class V). The river is primarily Class II between Saw Pit Flat and the Indian Point Gorge (two miles downstream), but the short length of this easier reach and the lack of a developed take-out before the gorge means that boaters typically do not use Saw Pit Flat as a put-in to run this short Class II reach.
