Location pictures.

1: Picture 1--Parking area surfaces and road have loose, unstable gravel and large river rock surfaces. The river overlook and paved access route leading up to it (in the back of the picture below the telephone pole), and the boat launch area (in the back of the picture below the bridge), and the high river water level on the same plane as the parking lot (right edge of the picture). This uneven parking surface and road are difficult for a wheelchair.

Additional information about this location.

1: The parking area is surfaced with loose rough gravel and river rock. It is firm but not stable. The paved river overlook trail continues to the accessible bathroom, but in some areas gravel from the parking area covers the path, restricting the clear tread width to 24 inches or less. Parts of the paved path are also broken and uneven, and the maximum cross slope is 7.5 degrees.

2: Fishing is permitted from the river overlook, which has a hand railing around the overlook for safety, but it may be difficult to land a fish due to the height of the raised overlook. The river current below the overlook is also swift.
