Itinerary description

Short public road dead-ends at YMCA Camp (no access). Begin at parking in signed public lot behind restaurant; public restroom; nature info kiosk. Walk along with River, trout fishing; light traffic was fishermen. This was a surprise after passing the Cheesman Trail Head Parking Lot packed with anglers, who must walk in from west.
