Maple Leaf Angler Access

The site offers sandy beach access and downstream trail options for anglers, though boat/canoe launch requires hand-carrying craft down steps and a 0. 1-mile trail. A recreation fee is required to park at this U. S.

Forest Service site, and watercraft permits are needed May through September for paddling the designated Wild and Scenic River section.
