Howe Avenue Access offers convenient river access near Highway 50 with both car-top and trailered boat launching ramps (availability dependent on water level).

The site features paved parking for vehicles and trailers, restroom facilities, drinking fountains, and connects to the Jedediah Smith Memorial Multi-use Trail; note that swimming is not encouraged due to cold, fast-moving water.

Year-round day-use access is available from sunrise to sunset with parking fees ($7 vehicles, $13 with trailer/RV).
