This trip begins at the popular Tyger 10 Nature Park along the main stem of the Tyger River and includes exciting Class I-II rapids and shoals. This shorter trip is great for novice paddlers and is the last section along the Tyger River Blueway.

Old Hills Bridge road is a short 7 minute drive from the Tyger 10 Nature Park; shuttling cars should not take more than 20-30 minutes. The Tyger 10 Nature Park has plenty of parking, walking trails, and educational displays. Paddlers will put in above the Walnut Grove Road bridge, river left. Immediately after putting in, paddlers will cross under the Walnut Grove Road bridge and encounter some shoals/Class I rapids along the way. 1,300 feet downstream of the bridge, paddlers will encounter Class II shoals/rapids and a 400 foot long island. Paddlers should follow the wider channel around the island, 2.6 miles into the trip, paddlers will come across another island, 0.25 miles in length. Stay to the right of this island. Upon nearing the Old Hills Road bridge, paddlers should stay to the left side of the river and exit the river downstream of the bridge, river left. At the Old Hills Road bridge, park east of the road, river left on the shoulder of an old roadbed. A drive leads to a gate on private property and the old roadbed is to the left before the gate. A trail leads downhill to the river. Paddlers should note that this is the last take out on the Tyger River Blueway. For more information see the Tyger River Blueway map.
