Tuolumne River, South Fork Access

South Fork Road (USFS Road 1S01) provides alternate access to Meral's Pool on the South Fork Tuolumne River, requiring approximately a 3-mile hike down an unimproved administrative road.

Equipment shuttles are available through permitted outfitters for both gear transport and commercial trips, though advance booking (10+ days during peak season) is essential.
