Side of the road parking. Not a designated access spot at the bridge, but doable.
Parking lot with easy takeout at a small ramp on river right just before the dam.
This was a pretty flat, mud banked river not offering much of a thrill for a paddling experience. But it had a decent current at times, until the final 3 miles or so of it being completely flat.
Trees typically surrounded the river, but not much far beyond the banks of it. There were some more open areas, yet only a handful of developing signs of people.
For what the natural scenery lacked, the wildlife made up for. Several eagles were spotted, along with a big turtle and two deer.
Gradient: ~2 feet per mile. Decent current most of the way.
Experience Paddling at this Water Level: Paddling at this water level went well. There weren't any log jams, tight squeezes, or serious hazards to avoid. And the current at this water level was decent until flattening out in this final stretch.
