Access allows anglers to fish both banks of the river, between the upstream and downstream UCSFREC property boundaries. Anglers are free to launch car top boats, canoes, kayaks, rafts and float tubes. However, any floatation device used must be carried to the river as boats requiring the use of a trailer are not allowed.
