Lonesome Valley Road provides public access to the Powell River at River Mile 52 with a gradual sloping bank suitable for launching boats and kayaks.

The access features plenty of parking (though it may be partially inundated during high water), a trailer turnaround area, and one-lane gravel road access.

Note that river levels are managed by Norris Lake reservoir and vary seasonally, and the site has experienced some vandalism, so valuables should not be left unattended in vehicles.
