Lavezzola Creek Access provides put-in access to a challenging whitewater run featuring granite gorges and class IV-V rapids including notable hazards like Boulder Bar Boof, Double Drop, and Deep Crack (which requires portaging).

The access point is located on a dirt road just past the first bridge near Lavezzola Ranch Road, approximately 5 miles upstream from Downieville, with a parking area available near the municipal waterworks at the Pauley Creek confluence downstream.
