Additional information about this location.

1: An otherwise accessible bathroom is not accessible because there is a step up from the road to the bathroom access route. There is a suspension foot bridge to cross the river, but it is not accessible. The edge of the parking lots do not have any edge protection, and there is a very steep and long cliff down to the river. Be careful!
