The SR 4 Bridge access point marks the remote start of Coldwater Creek's 19-mile designated paddling trail, featuring a sandy launch area beneath the bridge.

This location is noted as potentially unsafe for overnight parking, so contact local outfitters for shuttling and safe parking arrangements.

The creek features swift currents (3+ mph), shallow spring-fed water, and sandy/rocky bottom with sandbars suitable for camping, though water levels should be checked with outfitters before paddling.
