Early Take Out option

Across from the Mccaleb Ranch is a 4wd access rd. This is a good road to know about if you needed an early take out, or to evacuate the river. This is not a recommended take out for people not familiar with the area and navigating rough roads in remote places.

The Steel Bridge or SF Chetco access are preferred take outs.
