Chumstick Highway Access

This access point can be used as a take-out for floats limited to the Class 1 sections upstream, or as a put-in to skip the Class 1 sections and begin directly above the Class 2 rapids upstream of Plain. From the junction of Highway 207 and Chumstick Highway near the headwaters, travel about 2.5 miles down Chumstick Highway; the site is on the north side of the road. Look for a green electrical box on the north side of the highway and park along the shoulder. The informal path to the river can be located by standing near the electrical box. From the river, the site is on river right, just before the river turns left away from the road and just upstream of a sandy wall on the right bank. The access is often obscured by shrubbery and is difficult to spot without the pink tape typically tied to bank vegetation. This is an informal access point with no amenities and no cell coverage for about a mile in either direction.
