Carver Put-In
Carver is about .2 miles off Hwy 123, a nice, paved road. This is one of the best launch locations in terms of not having to carry your boat at all. Just drive up to the river and drop your boat in. There are a few campsites, a toilet and tables here.
Visit our hiking page for more info about hikes in the area.
Leave your shuttle car at Mt Hersey for a 6.8-mile float. You will do about 2 miles an hour. A little faster if the water is higher, slower if the water is on the lower side.
