Sluice Box River Access
This is a popular put-in area for the class 3 float to Seattle Creek River Access. In addition, this area of the river is known for great bird watching and the spotting of occasional river otters. There is a river map and an interpretive panel at this access along with an information board providing current info on campfire permits and fire restrictions for the area. The Forest Service maintains a portable toilet during the summer months. The road to the water's edge is graded gravel. Even though there is a large parking area, there is limited dispersed camping here.
*As of August 15th, 2023 this campground is closed due to wildfire activity*
