The trailhead features improved accessibility with a ramp for the first third of a mile, making it suitable for various skill levels, and provides direct river access via wooden boardwalks where paddlers and rafters can observe the powerful, narrow gorge section of the North Fork Nooksack River.
This is a popular put-in/take-out point for kayakers and rafters seeking whitewater recreation in a scenic old-growth forest setting.
