I go to Rochelle's and launch my kayak then paddle upstream a few miles fishing my way up and fish my way back to the truck. They have an honor box to put your money in. You can go 24/7 year round even in their off season when they are closed. They charge $5 per truck and $1 to launch a kayak. It is easy to get in and out of the river. Note: As solid as the river rock seems Do Not back down to the river unless you have four wheel drive or have $25 to get pulled to solid ground. I learned the hard way and paid my tuition to learn you always pull parallel to the river and you will never have a problem getting stuck.
