Nelson Point, accessed via the Quincy-La Porte Road bridge crossing, serves as a primary access point and take-out for the Middle Fork Feather River with a primitive campground, vault toilet, and beach area on the south side of the river.

The location marks the confluence of Nelson Creek with the Middle Fork and provides access to both upstream scenic canyon sections and downstream whitewater runs, making it a key hub for both fishing and paddling activities in the area.
