Stanislaus Goodwin Canyon Put-in is located approximately 0. 5 mile downstream from Goodwin Dam on Army Corps of Engineers property, accessible via Tulloch Road off Highway 108/120 near Oakdale.

Limited parking is available along the dirt road at the put-in, with gear requiring a short carry from the gate down to the river. This is the starting point for a challenging 4-mile Class IV+ whitewater run featuring major rapids like Mr.

Toad's Wild Ride and Haunted House, best run during fall water releases (typically October) when flows support both the run and salmon spawning.
