River Road River Access and Parking Area provides hand launch access to the North Saluda River with a small dirt parking area located river-right on the mouth of Big Brushy Creek.

The access is reached by following a dirt road about 300 feet to the river, though the parking area may become muddy following rain. This is an unofficial but widely-used access point suitable for beginner paddlers, with suggested trips including the 2.

5-mile route to Les Mullinax Park (1-2 hours) and the 1. 8-mile route to Highway 11 (1. 5 hours).
