Although this trip is considered Novice in terms of rapid difficulty, it requires portage around two dams and may not be well suited for families with young children, inexperienced paddlers, or those unable to carry boats along primitive trails.
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.
This access is river-right, south of the Cooley Bridge Road/Belton Highway bridge. The Holliday dam creates lake-like paddling conditions here, which offers the opportunity to use Cooley Bridge Road as the put-in and take-out. Portage around the Holliday Dam is not currently available.
