Cedar Grove Road Natural Area offers informal pedestrian and boater access to the Cedar River via an unmaintained trail from Cedar Grove Road, with no parking facilities on-site (roadside parking available nearby).

The site features a grassy clearing suitable for picnicking and nature observation, though dense vegetation limits access to other areas, and signage discourages river entry during fall salmon spawning season.

Rafters commonly use the eastern portion as a pull-out during weekends.
