Paddlers should use this river access as a start and end point, traveling upstream or downstream at your own leisure. Slow moving and flat water characterize this stretch.

The upstream and downstream dams create lake-like paddling conditions at this river access and this section is very beginner-friendly. Paddlers can travel upstream or downstream, using Lyman Street Landing as a start and end point. Lyman Street Landing has a large paved parking lot and a boat ramp, and is open from dawn to dusk. While portage around the downstream dams is available, the lake-like paddling conditions allow paddlers to use the Lyman Street Landing as a put in and take out. If paddlers would like to continue their paddle, please visit the Lyman Streem Landing to Cooley Bridge Road trip page for more information.
