Harllees Bridge is an old crossing and there are remnants of an historic swimming area consisting of cement steps leading to the river on river right or the south side of the river. Swimming is an enjoyable pastime for boaters and is best along exposed or submerged point bars. Along this 4-mile stretch of river one encounters more human activity such as houses and docks
Throw-In opportunities are found at bridge crossings that do not have public landings. The land within a few feet of either side of a bridge is known as the right-of-way and is considered public, but along both sides of the river adjacent to a bridge throw-in, the land is privately owned. One needs to be careful as you launch your boat to stay within the right-of-way and not to trespass on private land. It is also best not to park along the side of the road, instead please get someone to leave you and your gear at the bridge.
Paved boat ramp with dirt parking area
There is a public landing on river right called Nortons Landing. This landing has a dirt landing and parking area and may be the local swimming hole complete with rope swing. Before arriving at Moccasin Bluff Landing one will see approximately a dozen houses, and if you are observant one will notice an old bridge crossing near the end of the houses.
