Posted access, private land, or current conditions make entry unclear
You need a guaranteed public beach
Water quality, algae, or footing make the stop feel off
Before you go
- Use the parking pin as the arrival point and scout the route before committing.
- Respect posted rules and any camp or retreat-area restrictions.
- Check depth, exit options, and footing before entering the water.
- Pack out trash and avoid blocking small roads or gates.
- If access feels wrong on arrival, make it a look-only stop.
