Jackson River Canoe Access Points offers one of five public boat launches along the Jackson River below Gathright Dam, managed by the U. S. Forest Service and open year-round from sunrise to sunset with no fee.

The access point is day-use only with no camping, campfires, restrooms, or potable water available, so visitors should pack out all waste and plan accordingly.

Water levels can change daily due to dam operations, and visitors should be aware of scheduled pulse releases when it's unsafe to be on the water.
