Greenwood Creek River Access, managed by the BLM, provides public access to the South Fork American River and serves as both a take-out point for the popular Coloma to Greenwood run and a put-in for the lower Class III section.

The day-use only facility offers limited parking with overflow available at nearby Magnolia Ranch Trailhead, and there is no fee for non-commercial river access.

A Special Recreation Use Permit is required for commercial, organized groups, or competitive activities.
