Kerchoff dam

There is a dock on the left, that provides an easy take out.   However, this is PG&E property and the route around the left side of the dam on walkways and stairs is now fenced off.  This is off limits to boaters. Boaters could avoid PG&E property by bushwacking along a large pipeline, across a small drainage to eventurally connect with a trail that leads downstream.  The other option is to portage the right side (north side) of the dam.  There is no trail on a steep, rocky and brushy hillside.  Below the dam on the north side are broken cliffs, that will likely require rope work to descend.  The hillside on the north side of the dam is reportedly private property.
