Located approximately one and a half miles upriver from Orleans, this site offers river access for motorized and non-motorized boaters and anglers. From highway 96, river access is only 3/4 of a mile away, down a gravel dirt road accessible by car. The road brings you to a spaceous river bar, providing plenty of area to park a car or camp. Being on a long sweeping curve of the river, the water is fairly calm at this access and is a popular fishing spot. The lower portion of the bar is an ideal place for swimming in the summer. A vault toilet is provided but no potable water is available.
