Take out river left by boat access. Walk along dam access road before descending the steep, mowed embankment adjacent to the dam. Descend stairs to a path. Walk downstream toward a gravelly beach. Those with portage carts may wish to continue duwn the dam access road which eventually loops around to the put-in. This route is longer, but less steep. Warning - river levels can rise unexpectedly here - by as much as 3'! Do not leave unattended gear close to the river, and listen for sirens.
