Main Tuolomne Boat Ramp

Merals Pool Ramp serves as the primary launch point for the Main Tuolumne River section, a renowned Class IV+ whitewater run spanning 18 miles through the Stanislaus National Forest.

Located on Forest Service Road 1N10 (Lumsden Rd), approximately 5 miles east of Ferretti Rd, this access point requires a permit (available through Recreation. gov) and caution due to the steep, narrow dirt/gravel road with limited turnouts.

River trips are available May 1st through October 15th and can be run in 1-3 days, with mandatory safety equipment and Leave No Trace practices required.
