The airspace under the (low water) bridge is a good indicator of floatability. 12 inches or less is excellent, 12-18 inches is good to OK, more than that is pretty low. The Park Service closes the river at zero inches (this makes a good trip from Boxley though), although I think you can put your own boat on. If so, make sure you know what you are doing--not for novices in high water.
Easy access off the main road and nestled right in Boxley Valley. Such a tranquil and beautiful place. You can also access the Villine's homestead.
Ending point for float trips from Boxley, or starting point for trips to Kyles Landing, Pruitt, or further downstream. To be clear, the main photo is of the Highway 74 high bridge, just downstream from the low water bridge.
Nice scenic route to peek around while in the area
Great location to start a good float. I love this access because of being able to park just feet from the water. Also makes a great spot for a swim. Bathrooms are near in the parking area and a old cabin is within walking distance just up the hill. You can gain access to the BRT and the ORT from this location. My understanding is no over night parking due to possible floods. You can have one of the outfitters move your car for you if you plan on a multiple day hike or float.
There is also a gauge on the high water bridge, which has completely different guidelines for floatability. Buffaloriver dot com has a link to river levels at Ponca and other points downstream.
