This site is for day use only - camping is prohibited. There is no fee for use of this site, and trash services are not provided - pack out your trash. The Confluence River Access is the primary put-in location for Class IV-V+ whitewater in Gore Canyon. Gore Canyon is extremely dangerous and considered to be an "expert only" section of whitewater.
